I'm afraid you've missed the ARRL's point. It's not about what modes are authorized on a given frequency, it's about what constitutes an "auxiliary station."
The ARRL's position is that the linking of a whole community of users from a VHF/UHF repeater input to 10M does not constitute a remote base or "auxiliary station," but rather a crossband repeater. As such, all inputs and outputs must be in their respective repeater subbands. You can disagree, but that's the ARRL's stand. It's somewhat stick-in-the-mud, but not inconsistent with the League's other positions. Here's a link to the ARRL's FAQ topic, "Is it legal to have a "remote base" with an output on HF below 29.5 MHz?" http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/faq-aux.html#_Toc70492015 Note that the reference to 222.15 MHz as the minimum frequency for operation of the uplink is obsolete since the rewrite of 97.201, (which now allows much of 2m,) but the reasons for the position are explained. 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: wd8chl To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2007 10:27 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 10 meter desense help, split site, high noise floor.

Running a 10M remote base on SSB is just fine wherever SSB is allowed, and the trustee can operate. Shows ya how much the ARRL knows...
