To be technically correct, most digital modes are also allowed there.

Tune around between 10.125 and 10.150, and you will hear a lot of 
packet, rtty, etc. I think there is also an extensive WinLink network 
up there somewhere.

Note that some other countries do allow phone on 30 meters, so don't 
panic if you happen across voice modes, usually ssb.

Also, no United States contests are conducted on 30 meters, so if you 
are looking for a place to hide during CW and digital contests, come 
on up to 30. The CW people there are quite friendly.

If you don't have a 30 meter antenna, try using your 80 meter antenna. 
Many of them, especially a single band dipole or inverted vee, will 
work just fine on 30 meters when used with a tuner.

The literature says that a G5RV or an 80 meter Windom from anywhere 
will not tune or radiate very well on 30 meters. While I have made 30 
meter contacts using both of these antennas, I found the tuning to be 
very touchy, and some older automatic tuners won't tune them there 
very well if at all.

By the way, the lack of contests and the friendly nature of the 
occupants also apply to 17 and 12 meters.
