another try:

3 technical / scientific reasons to say it is one band:
- frequencies are only 6% apart (only 4% if you take 501/479)
- same antenna's, same equipment used
- propagation will hardly differ

1 bureaucratic reason to say it are 2 bands.

Here I rest my case.

5.2585 to 5.4065 MHz =3D the  'Band'

The   sub  groups  are  11 =3D individual band segments.

the  'BAND' is  still  defined  as  5.2585 to 5.4065 MHz

Good  try , but  still  the  same  :(
