Ham Radio General Class Practice Test

What portion of the 10 meter band is available for repeater use?

1. The entire band

2. The portion between 28.1 MHz and 28.2 MHz

3. The portion between 28.3 MHz and 28.5 MHz

4. The portion above 29.5 MHz

The correct answer is: The portion above 29.5 MHz

The portion of the 10 meter band that is available for repeater use is above 29.5 MHz. This part of the spectrum is specifically designated for auxiliary and repeater operations. It is important for users to be aware that the amateur radio allocation for repeater use is subject to regulations that ensure effective communication and minimize interference with other services. The other choices do not represent the correct segment allocated for repeater operations. For example, while certain frequencies within the 10 meter band may have other amateur uses, they do not specifically pertain to repeater functions. Understanding the designated frequencies helps operators comply with FCC regulations and ensures efficient use of the band for communication purposes.
