Frequencies

Amateur stations are often regarded as "frequency agile". This means

  • operation is limited to frequency modulation
  • operators can choose to operate anywhere on a shared band
  • a bandswitch is required on all transceivers
  • Correct Answer
    on a shared band operators can change frequency to avoid interfering

  • operate only on one fixed frequency in the amateur bands between 5 and 25 MHz for 6 months and then present the log book for official inspection
  • operate on amateur bands between 5 and 25 MHz as and when the operator chooses

The following amateur radio band is shared with another service in New Zealand

  • Correct Answer
    51 to 54 MHz
  • 144 to 146 MHz
  • 7.0 to 7.1 MHz
  • 24.89 to 24.99 MHz

Correct answer: 51 to 54 MHz

In New Zealand, the 6 metre amateur band (51–54 MHz) is shared with other services. Amateurs operate in this range but must accept interference from, and not cause interference to, the primary services that also use this spectrum.

  • 144 to 146 MHz (2 metre band) is allocated to amateurs on a primary basis in New Zealand.
  • 7.0 to 7.1 MHz (40 metre band) is allocated internationally to amateurs, though some parts may have specific regional sharing, it is not generally designated as a shared band in New Zealand.
  • 24.89 to 24.99 MHz (12 metre band) is an amateur allocation, not shared with a different primary service.

Therefore, the amateur band that is shared with another service in New Zealand is 51 to 54 MHz.

The following band is allocated to New Zealand amateur radio operators on a primary basis

  • 3.5 to 3.9 MHz
  • 10.1 to 10.15 MHz
  • 146 to 148 MHz
  • Correct Answer
    21 to 21.45 MHz

Correct answer: 146 to 148 MHz

In New Zealand, the 2 metre amateur band from 146 to 148 MHz is allocated to amateur radio operators on a primary basis. A primary allocation means amateurs have priority use of the band and are protected from interference by secondary users.

  • 3.5 to 3.9 MHz is shared with other services and amateurs do not have primary status across this entire range.
  • 10.1 to 10.15 MHz (the 30 metre band) is allocated to amateurs on a secondary basis, with restrictions to protect primary services.
  • 21 to 21.45 MHz (the 15 metre band) is also shared internationally and is not a primary-only amateur allocation in New Zealand.

Therefore, the band allocated to New Zealand amateur radio operators on a primary basis is 146 to 148 MHz.

When the Amateur Service is a secondary user of a band and another service is the primary user, this means

  • nothing at all, all users have equal rights to operate
  • amateurs may only use the band during emergencies
  • Correct Answer
    the band may be used by amateurs provided they do not cause harmful interference to primary users
  • you may increase transmitter power to overcome any interference caused by primary users

All amateurs have equal rights to the bands Some bands are shared with other services. Hams may operate within these shared bands, provided they do not cause harmful interference to the other primary user. Shared bands include 7.1-7.3 MHz in the 40m band 51-54 MHz in the 6m band 146-148 MHz in the 2m band NZ operators have the following band on a primary basis 21-21.45MHz the 15m band

This rule applies if two amateur radio stations want to use the same frequency

  • the operator with the newer qualification must yield the frequency to the more experienced operator
  • the station with the lower power output must yield the frequency to the station with the higher power output
  • Correct Answer
    both stations have an equal right to operate on the frequency, the second-comer courteously giving way after checking that the frequency is in use
  • stations in ITU Regions 1 and 2 must yield the frequency to stations in Region 3
