[HCARC] Abandoning 10 meter rag chew?

Gary, there is a group of legal frequencies between 26.965 and 27.405 wherein hams are permitted to talk to other hams or even non hams.. These are discussed in CFR 47 Part 95. Ham radio is covered in CFR 47 Part 97. One frequency , 27.065, is reserved for emergency communications or traveler assistance. Some hams use these frequencies while traveling because of the great silence on 146.52. I have only heard a part of a QSO on 146.52 so I no longer even bother with it. There are specific rules covering the use of the frequencies from 26.965 to 27.405 such as power, antenna height, length of QSO, etc. hi

Whose frequency is 27.185 for??? 28-29.7
is 10 meters, and 24.89-24.99 is 12 meters. What approved Band is 27.185
mhz??? Or is it a typo??
