The Australian call frequencies for voice (meaning: not morse code
which is also called CW) a foundation member can use are 3.650 ,
7.090 , 21.190 and 28.590 qsy-ing to a different frequency:
>>>

Can I ask how these frequencies were determined?
The only SSB calling freq listed in the band plans is 28.390. Which is a 
recent WIA suggestion to get local traffic off 28.490 (some hope!). So I'm 
surprised to see you list 28.590. Is this a convention being suggested to 
foundation licensees?

I was aware that 7.090 was used by many, but never heard of the others.
