how do you know they were hams?
I run my Yaesu 5000mp on 38lsb, wont go back to any CB radios in the future. The transmit side and reception is outstanding compared to my old CB radios.
FT-857D is general coverage but rarely gets used on HF let alone 11m. (twice)
Uniden Tempo 2020's will all do 11m.
Is the HR-2510 a ham radio?
I use CB for CB. My uPD858 chassis serve as a platform for various 10/11m.
TRC-457,458,449. 139XLR, 138XLR, and a Robyn 510D.
I have one TRC-458 and one 142-GTL part 95, class D legal (for obvious reasons) in the shack.
All my monoband 11m hollow and sand state toys are collecting dust.
I also have a heavily squelched POS left on either 27.025 or 27'385 (think it "was" a Kraco 4007) that rectifies audio output to a big LED. It's my "skip indicator".
Ham for ham, CB for CB.
It's a different story when I'm mobile.

They were talking about when they were going to meet on the other bands. I keyed up to say hi and I blew a 4 amp fuse in my cord. I guess FM takes a lot of power. Haha
It takes no more than the peak power on AM or SSB for any given amount of watts. It does however draw that constantly on transmit whereas AM and SSB will be up and down as you talk.
Freebanders use more than one band. They've started to use some questionable spaces on places like 4MHz where long range aeronautical channels are. It seems they don't give a shit that there are actually legitimate users on those bands they choose, they just don't hear anyone when they listen so assume they can take them over.
It's mainly because the C.B. band is another radio service. I have an Extra ham ticket and use about every radio service legally available to citizens simply because it's there. I see it as a radio service and not a club. Just my thought.
I have owned several Yaesu FT-101 models & NONE of them did anywhere near 260 watts unless it was input power.I was so happy when I sold them since they were always requiring work of some kind or another.Many people use Ham Radio gear on 11 meters & have for many many years.Also you don't need to be a Ham Operator to own any ham radio gear so they may not even be a ham operator at all.

You would find operators all over the world on 20 meters in the day time & 40 meters at night.Always somebody on the ham bands somewhere unlike 11 meters.

I agree, 260 is a joke. I currently run a 101ZDMkIII and max is 130 and that's pushing it hard.
The 260 watts is input power. Like the Heapshit sb220 was rated at 2kw input.
Yup!! Those ratings are from back in the day when power was speced as DC INPUT power not output power.
Please bring that LSB traffic to 27.155. Plenty of folks on 38lsb. And the gentleman from the north that said 30 lsb for barefoot(12w no switch flipping). I have not made many contacts on 16lsb and none on 30 but they were very pleasant although quick. I am barefoot on 16 with my calls. If they say I am low(which means I can hear them, not often with our current conditions), then I flip the switch for the contact(then back to standby/off).
