- B 24.890 MHz to 24.990 MHz
- C 21.000 MHz to 21.450 MHz
- D 50.000 MHz to 54.000 MHz
Correct answer: A — 28.000 MHz to 29.700 MHz. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
The 10-metre band in Canada spans from 28.000 MHz to 29.700 MHz because the band name comes from dividing the speed of light by the frequency, which yields a wavelength of roughly 10 metres at these values. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
