[HCARC] Abandoning 10 meter rag chew?

Yes and if you use LEGAL power, you will be limited to 5 Watts. I'm sure 
most of those on the 10 meter get-togehter were runnimg at least 100 Watts. 
So, the coverage on 26.965 - 27.405 MHz will be substantially poorer than on 
28.whatever.

73,

Bill, W3XO/5

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??
