How do we want to use 10m?

1. Use it all the time similar to 2m using repeaters and some simplex,
or
2. Use it for DX but only during solar peaks which may be present for
3-4 years out of every 11 year cycle?

Repeaters are normally FM, only legal from
29.51 - 29.7 MHz. What about 28.0 - 29.51 MHz?

10m simplex is not very attractive or functional
during the low of the sun spot cycle. That's why
it is not much being used today.

From 1650 to 1700, the sun went without sunspots.
It could happen again.
