	430.05-431.0259	packet radio 100 KHz link channels beginning with 430.05 and ending with 430.95. Note these channels share spectrum with the ATV aural carrier and will require careful coordination to prevent receiver overload. The channel 430.750 is reserved for the aural carrier of the ATV channel 426.250 with a maximum receiver bandwidth of 35 KHz. The frequency 431.025 is reserved for packet simplex operations under the FCC non-repeater set aside rules.

After June, 1992 all allocations in the channels 440.975 to 441.075 will be reserved for packet radio operations. All existing coordinated allocations are grandfathered and will be protected.
	441.500-441.600	The channels 441.500 and 441.525 are reserved for packet radio operations. The channels 441.550, 441.575 and 441.6 are reserved for FM voice simplex.
	446.0	National Simplex Frequency
	446.425-446.475	For temporary cross band and remote base station usage. Channels are not coordinated and all activity would be on a shared non- protected basis PL tones must be used * ( as ammended 6-3-95 )
	446.5-446.6	Shared control frequencies. 10 Khz spacing. Odd frequencies verticle polarization, even frequencies horizontal
		Note: By past convention the low-in, high-in selection for these pairs was a matter of local option. Generally North-western Oregon systems are low-in and other areas of the state may be high-in. These existing systems are grand-fathered to their present configurations. The current offset is 5 MHz. minus. Systems which wish to change inputs will need to contact ORRC and other owners at the site location so the site may be evaluated to determine the interference conditions. This will help reduce interference and provide for orderly transitions.

	NOTES:	The following conditions are to be applied when considering any sanction within the 425-431 MHz spectrum:
		1. Due to the heavy loading of the 420-440 MHz band, ATV transmissions must be VSB only.
		2. Those existing coordinated users of the 425-431 band are recognized and must be accommodated on new frequencies with the assistance of any new applicants. A list of existing coordinated users, but not frequencies or precise locations, will be provided to those parties interested in reaching an accommodation. Existing and proposed users are expected to bargain in good faith consistent with the best Ham Radio traditions.
		3. The ORRC recognizes reasonable compensation to those coordinated users that modify their systems to accommodate others is a major part of the traditions of amateur repeater operators.
		4. Spurious emissions standards for amateur transmissions in the 70 Cm band, established at the -60 dBc level are adopted by the ORRC. This requirement does not supercede the requirement to also operate according to good engineering practice.
		5. The spectrum 426-431 is annexed for repeater use by applicants before ORRC.
		6. Proposed repeater/simplex combined operations within the 425-431 MHz spectrum will provide a be required to state that simplex operations on the repeater channel are not considered to interfere with the operation of the repeater. Effectively, ATV repeater operation is considered secondary to ATV simplex operation.
		7. Due to the interference concerns of many users of the band, the ORRC will collect reports interference and may, if required, review the interference question in the next year. Interference problems that are resolved will not be considered. Any operators rights to file complaints with other authorities are not abridged.

Protected Frequencies
By convention and national agreement through the ARRL Band Plans a number of weak signal and satellite frequency bands have been established. No repeater or link activity is allowed in these areas and the ORRC will not coordinate new activity in these areas.

Condition of this bandplan is questionable as well as ORRC itself!
