What is the lowest output frequency band segment of the repeaters that holders of an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with only a Basic Qualification are allowed to use?

While operators with only a Basic Qualification are generally restricted to operating on bands above 30 MHz, there is a special regulatory exception for repeater operation on the 10-meter band. This specific exception permits Basic operators to use the repeater band segment between 29.500 MHz and 29.700 MHz. This allows entry-level operators to experiment with FM repeaters that occasionally benefit from long-distance skywave propagation. Selecting the entire 10-meter band (28.000 MHz to 29.700 MHz) is incorrect because Basic operators are not permitted to use the lower portions of this band without Honours.
