AM and FM are not permitted. CW is allowed anywhere. LSB and USB permitted between 28.3 and 28.5. Data is allowed below 28.3 in the tech portion.

thanks very much

As a practical matter, nobody uses LSB on 10 meters, so there's no particularly good reason for you to be first. But it's perfectly legal.
As others have pointed out, a technician can't do AM or FM on 10 meters.

You really should have a printed copy of the rules and regs to refer to. The ARRL website offers a copy for sale and other sources exist.. Get one !

73
Mark, K8MHZ
"The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror (37) is the 12th and its mirror (21) is the product of multiplying, 7 and 3. ... In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001 which backwards is 1001001."
-Dr. Sheldon Cooper, (Jim Parsons), "Big Bang Theory"
"Just to invite your attention to "73" in Morse code--also a palindrome."

You know, it never really made sense to me that techs were allowed ssb and not fm on 10m. You would think that it would be the opposite beings the tech license is geared more toward repeater use. Just an observation, carry on.

Who ever expected the FCC, etc. to have common sense?
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it already is. The Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

There seems to be some serious political opposition to this idea.
During the last restructuring rule making, I proposed in my comments that wide FM be allowed down to 28.7 or 28.8 Mhz., and FCC actually responded to the comment. They said "NO". There really wasn't any justification for the "NO", other than they didn't agree.
Even during the last sunspot peak, the frequencies between 28.8 Mhz. and 29.0 were very lightly used. I don't believe we need any more 10 meter repeaters, but it would be nice to have another section of the band where we could operate FM. I think a lot of FM simplex users have moved down into the satellite band on 10, and while we don't have any birds currently using it, it will make things difficult in the future if we do.
But, it's not rocket science to get a General so you can operate on 10 FM, either, and even without the Techs, when the band is open, there's plenty of activity. It's starting to look like F-skip on 10 may be spotty at best during the next sunspot cycle, so the whole argument may be moot. 15 may be king for the next 8-10 years.
