Anyone here use 11meters? I know several Ham's in this area that do,but you don't hear them talking about it.I wonder if they use cb jargon or if they try and use plain language when they use cb.I don't have 11 meters myself but I don't think it would wrong as long as you didn't break the fcc rules.
Just thinking about it because I heard some of my family members talking about it.
We have Hondaline CBs on our Valkyries, J&M CBs on our Concours-14s and a few base rigs in the shack. At this moment a CPI CP-2000/BC-2000/DM-1 lineup is used for 11M ragchewing or bike-to-shack comms.

Last time I checked, we have a group of locals that do nothing but play music, speech clips and noises on 11m. One guy I have to give props to, plays his guitar and the modulation is perfect. He is also quite talented.
Mid 90s, we had a nice group on 35 and 37. Then the people on 15 decided that they didn't want us to talk.

When do you tell a woman you're a ham?
It's a jungle out there. Many EQ stupidly with poor articulation.

I use it driving, not at home.

We kept one in the truck until a year ago March. It became pretty useless where as I used to defend the use of mobile CB to all the naysayers.

It's been a while. I would go there sometimes to get away from QRMers on 75 and 2 meters.

I remember when the FCC, in their infinite wisdom, gave our 11 Meter band away to the Continental Babblers.
Amateur operators never had the 11M band as a "primary" allocation - it was designated as an ISM band and we were granted access as secondary users. Therein lies the problem with non-exclusive spectrum: It can be and often is reallocated on a whim.Originally Posted by NY3V

I hate to say this because a long time ago I was a CBer.But we have a ex CBer around here that everyone wishes would go back to CB.He drives everyone nuts on 2 meters.
We get a lot of that on 20 and 75M as well.
