Uh, not quite. While the X Band police radars are at 10.525 GHz, the
ham band is only from 10.000 to 10.500 GHz. Plus, pulse modulation is
not allowed on the 3cm band. We CAN use MCW, phone, image, RTTY, data,
SS, and test modulations. Hmmm, I wonder about plain old vanilla CW???
I don't see it mentioned...maybe "data" covers that nowadays (and with
a bandwidth limit of 100 KHz, we could smoke along at a LOT of WPM!!).

CW is almost always used for beaconing to align antennas. SSB is then
often used for the contact, however CW is used if it is marginal. Just
like HF, VHF and UHF contests. The major difference is that the
transmitter will often drift a couple hundred hertz during the QSO.

I have a few audio clips from the 10G cumulative contest last fall. If
anyone is interested I will email you a link.
