QRP Frequencies
Where low-power operators gather, in kHz. These are centers of activity, not reserved channels, so listen around them and keep to your license and local band plan. Digital frequencies are USB dial settings.
No band has one definitive list, so alternates are shown. R1 is Europe, Africa and the Middle East, R2 the Americas, R3 Asia-Pacific. Unmarked frequencies are used everywhere.
