The WARC bands are three portions of the shortwave radio spectrum used by licensed amateur radio operators. They consist of 30 meters (10.100–10.150 MHz), 17 meters (18.068–18.168 MHz) and 12 meters (24.890–24.990 MHz). They were named after the World Administrative Radio Conference, which in 1979 created a worldwide allocation of these bands for amateur use. The bands were opened for use in the early 1980s. Due to their relatively small bandwidth of 100 kHz or less, there is a sort of gentlemen's agreement that the WARC bands may not be used for general contesting.[citation needed]
Throughout most of the world, the 30 meter band cannot be used for phone communications except in emergency situations. However, part of Region 1 (Africa, south of the equator, during daylight hours) is permitted to use phone. The USA limits amateur radio users to 200 watts peak envelope power on this band .
Canada is part of region 2 and as such is subject to the IARU band plan. Radio Amateurs of Canada offers the bandplan below as a recommendation for use by radio amateurs in that country but it does not have the force of law and should only be considered a suggestion or guideline.
Well the boys and the girls all dancing around
Dancing all night to the crazy sound
Well it's the newest thing to hit the fan
The boys and the girls are holding hands
I said go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
A well I'm with my friend bob
And we're having a chat
I got the right speed and I'm doing fine
But bob is not dancing no shery
He's got a lazy eye on a litlle lady
I said go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
Wow let's say now
Go buddy go buddy go

As the wimen display around the floor
Dissapearing in a space behind the door
You tell the chick who stands right to us to get some more
Go buddy go buddy go

Go buddy go buddy go

A well I see we're changing partners
But that's not for me

I'm standing on the outside Lookin' in
Who's that litlle girl she was with him
I said go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
Solo...Let's go
As the wimen display around the floor
Dissapearing in a space behind the door
You tell the chick who stands right to us to get some more
Go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
Go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
A when the party is over and we're all going home

But wait a minute who said I can't see
No lovers and bob with a girl on his knee
I said go buddy go buddy go

Go buddy go buddy go
