28.300 to 28.500 upper side band for US Technician class license. Your 2950 will work fine, and depending on how broad banded your antenna is, you might not need a tuner on 10 meters. A dipole is certainly easy enough and cheap enough to make though! And yes, you'd get a special call sign for your country. More inifo here:

The 10m band is from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz. Permissible modes of operation in that range differ by country so it is best to contact a local ham club in your area for better details.
