Harmonic Relationship Table

How to read this table

  • “Harmonic (MHz)” is the range created by multiplying the entire band by 2×, 3×, or 4×.
  • “Overlaps” indicates whether that harmonic range lands inside another amateur band (from your list).
  • This is the most operationally useful view because it reflects band edges, not just a “center frequency” approximation.

Operational takeaway (from the overlaps):

  • The strongest “stack” relationships in your set are:
    • 160 → 80 (2×) and 160 → 40 (4×)
    • 80 → 40 (2×) and 80 → 20 (4×)
    • 40 → 20 (2×) → 15 (3×) → 10 (4×)
  • The WARC bands (30/17/12) are comparatively isolated by design.
