On which amateur frequencies in the 10-meter band may stations with a General class control operator transmit CW emissions?
The correct answer is D: The entire band. On the 10-meter band, stations with a General class control operator may transmit CW emissions on the entire band (28.000-29.700 MHz). Unlike other bands, 10 meters has no Extra-only segments for General class operators. General class has full CW access to the entire 10-meter band. For General class operators, this is one of the advantages of 10 meters - complete access for CW operation. Understanding this helps when planning operations.
Exam Tip
General on 10m CW = entire band. Think 'G'eneral = 'G'ets 'E'ntire 10m for CW. Unlike other bands, 10 meters has no Extra-only segments for General class. Full CW access from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz.
Memory Aid
"General on 10m CW = entire band. Think 'G'eneral = 'G'ets 'E'ntire 10m. Full CW access from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz. No Extra-only segments on 10 meters for General class."
Real-World Application
As a General class operator, you want to operate CW on 10 meters. You have access to the entire band from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz - no restrictions. This is different from other bands like 20 meters, where Extra class has exclusive segments. On 10 meters, General has full CW privileges.
Key Concepts
Why Other Options Are Wrong
Option A (28.000-28.025 MHz only): Incorrect. General class has access to more than just this small segment - they have the entire band for CW.
Option B (28.000-28.300 MHz only): Incorrect. General class has access beyond 28.300 MHz - they have the entire band up to 29.700 MHz for CW.
Option C (28.025-28.300 MHz only): Incorrect. General class has access starting at 28.000 MHz, not 28.025 MHz, and extends to the full band limit.
