VHF Frequencies and Band Plans

The following frequencies and modes are thought to be accurate. More specific and technically precise information concerning band plans for VHF frequencies can be obtained from the ARRL, and official frequency authorizations for amateur radio use can be found in FCC regulations.  Send additional VHF nets or beacons operating within the SMC area, corrections, or updates to w9gka@arrl.net.
