Back in the 1950's there were many "use or lose it" warnings from the ARRL about 11 meters. After Hams lost 11 meters to CB, rigs like that Johnson Ranger became worth their weight in gold to CBers who wanted the higher power (65 watts) since CB operations used AM back then.

My boat anchor Collins 75A3 receiver and Johnson Ranger transmitter have 11 meters on them. Before 1958, 11 meters was shunned by hams in favor of 10 meters. Little surprise the FCC repurposed it. 73, Guy K2AV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
