that's not correct at all.

from his QTH, depending on propagation, he can work both U.S. coasts (and anywhere in between) on bands other that 10 meters using fone

Frequency Allocations

Please indicate what other bands that a Tech class operator may operate phone and have coast to coast propagation available to him.

160 Meters

General, Advanced, Amateur Extra licensees:
1.800-2.000 MHz: CW, Phone, Image, RTTY/Data

80 Meters

Novice and Technician classes:
3.525-3.600 MHz: CW Only
General class:
3.525-3.600 MHz: CW, RTTY/Data
3.800-4.000 MHz: CW, Phone, Image

60 Meters: Five Specific Channels

The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five discrete 2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs can not cause inference to and must accept interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA says that hams planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their signal is transmitted on the channel center frequency." This means that amateurs should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz lower than the channel center frequency.
General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes:
Channel Center
Amateur Tuning Frequency
5332 kHz
5330.5 kHz
5348 kHz
5346.5 kHz
5358.5 kHz
5357.0 kHz
5373 kHz
5371.5 kHz
5405 kHz (common US/UK)
5403.5 kHz
Effective March 5, 2012, amateurs are permitted to use digital modes that comply with emission designator 60H0J2B, which includes PSK31 as well as any RTTY signal with a bandwidth of less than 60 Hz. They may also use modes that comply with emission designator 2K80J2D, which includes any digital mode with a bandwidth of 2.8 kHz or less whose technical characteristics have been documented publicly, per Part 97.309(4) of the FCC Rules. Such modes would include PACTOR I, II or III, 300-baud packet, MFSK16, MT63, Contestia, Olivia, DominoEX and others. with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 100 W. Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 100 W PEP transmitter output power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd.

40 Meters

Novice and Technician classes:
7.025-7.125 MHz : CW only
General class:
7.025-7.125 MHz : CW, RTTY/Data

Note:Phone and Image modes are permitted between 7.075 and 7.100 MHz for FCC licensed stations in ITU Regions 1 and 3 and by FCC licensed stations in ITU Region 2 West of 130 degrees West longitude or South of 20 degrees North latitude. See Sections 97.305(c) and 97.307(f)(11). Novice and Technician licensees outside ITU Region 2 may use CW only between 7.025 and 7.075 MHz and between 7.100 and 7.125 MHz. 7.200 to 7.300 MHz is not available outside ITU Region 2. See Section 97.301(e). These exemptions do not apply to stations in the continental US.

the OP never restricted it to HF,... that's why I phrased it as I did.

"from his QTH, depending on propagation, he can work both U.S. coasts ..."

and he can,.......... on 50 MHz,

.... as long as he uses dual antennas:tongue:

Well he could have used 2m as well for that matter it pretty much falls into the "no way in hell" category. 6m is stretching it pretty far as well. It's all moot anyway considering the post history of the OP and his aliases. :LOL:
