Answers:

T1C10 = C. 

 

G2B07 = C.  The U.S. band plan can be found on the ARRL website, and apps
are available for smartphones for easy reference in the field. A
commercially produced print version is also available.

 

E2D03 = D.  Earth-moon-Earth (EME), or moonbounce, involves bouncing the
radio signal off the moon. JT65 is optimized for the low signal-to-noise and
long transmit times in EME communication.
