If no beacons are allowed below 10M, somebody better inform these folks:
https://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/
From the above website:

Each beacon transmits once on each band once every three minutes, 24 hours a 
day.

A transmission consists of the callsign of the beacon sent at 22 words per 
minute followed by four one-second dashes.

The callsign and the first dash are sent at 100 watts. The remaining dashes are 
sent at 10 watts, 1 watt and 100 milliwatts.

At the end of each 10 second transmission, the beacon steps to the next higher 
band and the next beacon in the sequence begins transmitting.
