Ham S Band Edges Mousepad (w/free callsign)

Band edges are one of those things every operator technically knows and still occasionally second guesses, especially near a sub-band boundary at 2am during a contest. This pad puts the full US amateur spectrum in front of you at a glance, from 2200 meters down through the microwave bands into EHF, with both Amateur Extra and General class edges clearly marked.

The General class boundaries are called out separately in pink where they differ from Extra privileges, on bands like 80, 40, 20, and 15 meters, so newer operators upgrading through the license classes have an accurate reference without guessing where their privileges actually end. Extra class operators get the full picture too, all the way up through the millimeter wave allocations most pads don't bother including.

This one earns its keep at the operating desk, but it travels well too. Clubs running Field Day or a multi-op contest station often keep one at every position so nobody's flipping through a phone or a dog eared band plan mid-QSO.

Sized generously, especially for a mousepad, at 13.8 x 10.4 in (35 x 26 cm) and finished in a 3mm plush surface, it's designed and printed in the USA. It comes at the same price whether you leave it blank or add your callsign.

Whether it's anchoring your home station or riding along to the next Field Day, this is the pad that keeps the whole spectrum within arm's reach.
