On which HF and/or MF amateur bands are there portions where General class licensees cannot transmit?
60 meters, 30 meters, 17 meters, and 12 meters
160 meters, 60 meters, 15 meters, and 12 meters
80 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters, and 15 meters✓Correct answer
80 meters, 20 meters, 15 meters, and 10 meters
Explanation
General privileges are continuous edge to edge on 160, 60, 30, 17, 12 and 10 meters, but on 80, 40, 20 and 15 meters the General allocation stops short and leaves gaps held for higher classes. Those four bands are therefore the only HF bands with portions closed to a General licensee.
