I think I know why. They like to see big watts out of a little amp. Low carrier and swing high. To see big watts on fm you need some plate dissipation.

I always wanted to use FM on 11m but it's just as bad as ssb when a guy with a hacked up radio comes along. They crank the deviation pot wide open thinking it will make them loud and proud.

If you can't understand what they are saying they are quick to tell you something is wrong with your rig. AM always seemed less frustrating on 11m.
