Answer Notes
Technician class operators enjoy full privileges on VHF and UHF bands, but their access to the High Frequency (HF) bands is strictly limited. On the 10-meter band, Technicians are granted a specific sub-band for Single Sideband (SSB) voice, also known as 'phone' operation. This segment is exactly from 28.300 MHz to 28.500 MHz.
The frequencies below 28.300 MHz on the 10-meter band are allocated for CW (Morse code) and digital modes, meaning voice operation is not permitted there for Technicians. Frequencies above 28.500 MHz are reserved for operators who hold a General or Amateur Extra class license.
