2m simplex

FM is not AM/SSB

Remember, these are suggestions for FM operation on 2 meters in Wyoming. There are different bandplans and spacings used for AM/SSB. Also, the Considerate Operators Guide is good to keep in mind.

Frequency Coordinator

Each state's Frequency Coordinator is tasked with publishing and establishing the common FM simplex channel spacings for their state. However, due to a persistent and apparently absolute silence from the WY Frequency Coordinator on the subject (or, any other subject), we developed our own suggestion and offer the following table of 2m Simplex frequencies for routine use.

NOTE: The WY coordination group has published a Wyoming plan Find it here.
This IS the authoritative plan for Wyoming and supersedes all others.

Channel Spacing

The following table shows the best information we have as to what our neighbouring states are using for channel spacing.

We've chosen to follow the 15Khz channel spacing scheme.

15kHz	20kHz
S. Dakota	Montana
Nebraska	Idaho
Colorado	Utah

WY 2m Simplex

This is not LAW! This is merely a suggested guide for the convenience of the community. As long as any operator is following Part 97, they're allowed to do what they choose.

146	147
146.400	147.420
146.415	147.435
146.430	147.450
146.445	147.465
146.460	147.480
146.475	147.495
146.490	147.510
146.505	147.525
146.520	147.540
146.535	147.550
146.550	147.570
146.565	147.585
146.580

2m FM Calling

And, as is the case in the rest of North America, the 2m FM calling frequency is 146.520Mhz.

Once you've made contact and established a QSO, it's considered 'best practice' to move your QSO to another, agreed frequency. However, due to the lack of use, many choose to remain on 146.520 for the duration of their QSO.
