Question
On which amateur frequencies in the 10-meter band may stations with a General class control operator transmit CW emissions?
Answer Options
- A) 28.000 MHz to 28.025 MHz only
- B) 28.000 MHz to 28.300 MHz only
- C) 28.025 MHz to 28.300 MHz only
- D) The entire band
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The 10\text{-meter} band is one of the most generous in terms of operating privileges for General class licensees. The General class privileges begin at 28.000 \text{MHz} for RTTY/Data/CW emissions. Since CW (Morse code) is authorized on any frequency where RTTY/data is allowed, General class operators can operate CW across the entire RTTY/data portion of the band, from 28.000 \text{MHz} to 28.300 \text{MHz}.
Furthermore, the General class voice privileges begin at 28.300 \text{MHz} and extend to 28.500 \text{MHz}. CW emissions are authorized across all segments where the General class operator is authorized. Therefore, General class licensees can operate CW on the entire 10\text{-meter} band, from 28.000 \text{MHz} to 29.700 \text{MHz}, as specified in \S 97.305(\text{a}).
