*Question G2B08:
What is the voluntary band plan restriction for US stations transmitting within the 48 contiguous states in the 50.1 MHz to 50.125 MHz band segment?*  

*Correct Answer is  A: Only contacts with stations not within the 48 contiguous states*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

In the 50.1 MHz to 50.125 MHz band segment, the voluntary band plan for US stations transmitting within the 48 contiguous states restricts contacts to only those with stations not within the 48 contiguous states. 

### Explanation of the Correct Answer:
- **Correct Answer: A** - This restriction is in place to minimize interference and ensure that the limited spectrum is used effectively. The band is primarily reserved for weak-signal work and is often used for propagation studies, which is why contacts are limited to stations outside the contiguous states.

### Explanation of Incorrect Answers:
- **B: Only contacts with other stations within the 48 contiguous states**  
  - This is incorrect because the band plan specifically allows for contacts with stations outside the contiguous states, not within them. 

- **C: Only digital contacts**  
  - This is incorrect as the band plan does not restrict the mode of communication to digital only. It allows for various modes, but the key restriction is on the location of the stations.

- **D: Only SSTV contacts**  
  - This is also incorrect because the band plan does not limit contacts to Slow Scan Television (SSTV). Like digital modes, SSTV is just one of many possible modes that can be used, but the primary restriction is on the geographic location of the stations.

### Summary:
- The voluntary band plan for the 50.1 MHz to 50.125 MHz segment is designed to facilitate specific types of communication while minimizing interference. Understanding these restrictions is crucial for operating within the band legally and effectively.
