The only 10-meter 'call channel' per the ARRL bandplan is the FM simplex
calling frequency of 29.600. There have been many hams on 10-meters lately
saying that 28.400 USB is a calling frequency... Not true.


What you stated is true as far as the ARRL Band Plan, however thru usage and
custom, Hams will establish "calling Frequencies" and use them.

After listening to 10M for over 30 years and from various clubs here is what
I have found:

10 METERS
28.025 CW Rare DX & DXpeditions Frequently Operate Here - Split
28.060 QRP CW Calling frequency
28.080 RTTY Rare DX & DXpeditions Frequently Operate Here -- Split
28.080 to 28.100 Primary Range for RTTY
28.1010 10/10 Intl CW Calling Frequency
28.190-28.225 Beacons

28.200 NCDXF/IARU beacons (STAY OFF OF THIS FREQUENCY) Many Hams rely on
these beacons for propagation determination. For Details - see NCDXF/IARU
International Beacon Network

28.380 10/10 SSB Intl Calling Frequency
28.385 QRP SSB Calling frequency
