CENCA PACKET BANDPLAN

REVISED 1/14/96


CENCA is the packet coordinating council for the Central California region, boundaries of which extend NORTH to and include parts of San Joaquin County, EAST to the Nevada state line and southward along the summit of the Sierra Nevada range to Tehachapi P ass including all mountain valleys, SOUTH to a line drawn from Tehachapi pass westward to the region of Santa Maria, and WEST to the California Pacific Coast.

AREAS CLOSE TO THE BOUNDARIES LINE SHOULD CONTACT CENCA SO SERVICES CAN BE ESTABLISHED AND MAINTAINED ON A NONINTERFERING BASIS.

The following are COORDINATED frequencies for packet use in CENCA.

Beacons are QRM. Your beacon should be off. Only nodes and FULL SERVICE BBS systems sould be using beacons. APRS unproto information broadcasts on coordinated APRS frequencies are not considered beacons.


   
         Nodes on KEYBOARD TO KEYBOARD frequencies are NOT coordinated.
           ALL BBS SYSTEMS IN CENCA MUST BE COORDINATED THROUGH CENCA  
                     
                      The CENCA BBS registrar is K6RAU
              His address is K6RAU@K6RAU.#CENCA.CA.USA.NAOM
                   
                   The CENCA Frequency coordinator is KC6KGE
              His address is KC6KGE@KC6KGE.#CENCA.CA.USA.NOAM              
                            
     No new high level nodes are permitted on 2 meter BBS user Frequencies   
         The CENCA Bandplan follows closely the current NCPA bandplan.  

2 Meters


 144.910 KEYBOARD TO KEYBOARD
 144.930 BBS 
 144.950 DX CLUSTER
 144.970 BBS ( 9600 kybd to kybd in Fresno area. )
 144.990 BBS
 145.010 APRS/KEYBOARD TO KEYBOARD
 145.030 KEYBOARD TO KEYBOARD. 
 145.050 KEYBOARD TO KEYBOARD  
 145.070 BBS
 145.090 BBS
 145.610 9600 BAUD PACKET KEYBOARD TO KEYBOARD
 145.630 BBS 
 145.650 TCP/IP
 145.670 DX Cluster use.
 145.690 BBS use 
 145.710 9600 BAUD PACKET any NON BBS use.
 145.730 BBS
 145.750 TCP/IP
 145.770 DX CLUSTER
 145.790 BBS 2400 BAUDS
 146.580 DX CLUSTER
 147.585 BBS FORWARDING (2400 baud prefered MUST BE COORDINATED with KC6KGE)


220 Mhz

 
    223.54 BBS forwarding backbone 
    223.56 CENCA BBS SJV Forwarding Backbone
    223.58 Coast Lan Backbone 
    223.60 BBS forwarding backbone
    223.62 BBS forwarding backbone
    223.64 tcpip
    223.66 Keyboard to Keyboard (coordination not required for use)
    223.68  BBS LAN
    223.70 Node uplink (Monterey Bay & North Coast)
    223.72 BBS forwarding backbone
    223.74 DX Backbone
     The use of any of these 220 mHZ frequencies requires coordination.

70cm


    441.050 BBS LAN. No nodes. 1200 bauds 
    441.500 mHZ anything on non interfering basis.
    Many usable uhf frequencies exist in the 440 band. Look, listen & 
    then request coordination. Check out the ARRL bandplan then listen
    for a while. Uhf is IDEAL for point to point and 9600 bauds.

     To reduce interference to ATV systems, CENCA will not coordinate
      any UHF frequency below 438.000 Mhz. for any digital puropse.


900 Mhz and above


     Nothing reserved none prohibited if usage conforms to NARCC
     Band planning. Please coordinate on a as needed basis.
