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.

Well, I think that's cuz activity in general has been
declining. But 10m used to be very popular for
local use in this area, sunspots or not.
I imagine there are a few still out there, but I haven't
been on there myself much lately to know.
