In which mode are Technician Class operators allowed to operate on the 10 meter band?

Technician Class operators are allowed to use Single Sideband (SSB) and Continuous Wave (CW) modes on the 10 meter band. The 10 meter band, which spans from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz, offers opportunities for voice communication using SSB as well as traditional Morse code communication using CW. This allows operators to engage in both voice and keying modes, providing flexibility in how they communicate.

The choice of allowing both SSB and CW fits within the licensing privileges granted to Technician Class operators, who have limited access to certain frequencies compared to higher license classes. This reflects the intent to encourage new operators to learn and utilize various aspects of ham radio communications.

Allowing only CW or a single data mode like RTTY would not support the range of communication skills intended for Technician Class licensees nor would it align with the expansive nature of amateur radio, which encourages experimentation and versatility in communications.
