The 10 MHz band is allocated to
the Amateur Service only on a
Secondary basis. The IARU has
agreed that only CW and other
narrow bandwidth modes are to be
used on this band. Likewise the
band is not to be used for
contests and bulletins. SSB may
be used on the 10 MHz band
during emergencies involving the
immediate safety of life and
property, and only by stations
actually involved with the
handling of emergency traffic.
The band segment 10,120-10,140
kHz may only be used for SSB
transmissions in the area of
Africa south of the equator
during local daylight hours.
