Summarised from 47 CFR 97.301-305 and the ARRL band chart; the chart is the authority, and band plans (voluntary) narrow things further - e.g. 146.52 is the national simplex calling frequency. Technicians have everything above 50 MHz plus small CW/voice slices on HF. Power limit is 1,500 W PEP unless shown.
