Finally, really, the term band plan does not appear anywhere in part 97, and this is likely the reason for some discrepancy as to what it is and who defines it. The FCC clearly has some regulations. Other ham organizations seek to go further in the pursuit of self regulation.

They may come from ARRL, and lately I have learned that they may come from a state committee as well. They seem to range from very strongly recommend as good practice to suggestions.
