T1B01§ 97.301(e)T1B →

Which of the following frequency ranges are available for phone operation by Technician licensees?

  1. A28.050 MHz to 28.150 MHz
  2. B28.100 MHz to 28.300 MHz
  3. C28.300 MHz to 28.500 MHz
  4. D28.500 MHz to 28.600 MHz
Why Under 97.301(e), Technicians get HF privileges on 10 meters: CW, RTTY and data from 28.000 to 28.300 MHz, and SSB phone from 28.300 to 28.500 MHz at up to 200 watts PEP. So the only phone window is the 200 kHz segment starting at 28.300 MHz.
Watch out The range from 28.500 to 28.600 MHz is real phone spectrum, but only for General and higher class licensees; Technician phone privileges stop at 28.500 MHz. Anything below 28.300 MHz is the digital and CW portion of the Technician 10 meter allocation.
Tech 10 m: 28.0-28.3 is dits and data, 28.3-28.5 is talk. Phone ends at .5, not .6.
