NEW ZEALAND AMATEUR RADIO BANDPLANS

These charts show the New Zealand bandplans. These bandplans are to ensure that your transmissions do not impose problems on other operators and that their transmissions do not impact on you. It is to the advantage of all operators that the published bandplans be used. The Ministry of Economic Development (MED) defines the band limits, while the internal band segments are derived from the IARU Region 3 bandplans with New Zealand adaptations. The band limits are found in "Schedule 3" (attached to each amateur radio licence) and on the NZART web site in the Study Guide (Regulations). (see note 1 below for URL) The Region 3 bandplans are at the IARU Region 3 web site. (see note 2 below for URL)
