They just made HF amplifiers intended for use in the Amateur service type accepted equipment, and the type acceptance is based on the inability of the amp to do any amplifying in the 10/11 meter vicinity. You can, if you're a licensed amateur, build or modify an amp to work on 10 meters - you can even build up to one a year and sell it to a licensed ham without type acceptance. The upshot is that once you've got an amp that works on 10 meters, there's nothing to keep you from using it. Getting it is made a little more difficult, but for a licensed ham, it's no big deal.
