Ham Radio Technician Class Band Plan EXPLAINED for Beginners!

I recently bought the Yaesu FT-891 HF radio and jumped into the exciting world of HF radio. But since it’s been a few years since I studied for and passed my Element 2 Technician Class license exam, and I haven’t had much interest the working HF bands up until now, I’ve found myself asking one question in particular over the past few weeks, “What HF privileges do I have with a Technician Class license?”, as well as trying to locate the latest US amateur band plan chart to find out. In this episode of KI5IRE Ham Radio, I explain what ham radio frequencies a US Technician Class amateur radio operator has privileges on according to the US Technician Class Band Plan. 73, KI5IRE!
