CB is dead around here. SSB is another matter. It's alive!



CB is a designated radio service
that includes SSB as one of the approved modes.


CB is AM.

11 meters is sideband.

Totally different.



In your state of confusion,
anything could be wrong, right,
or a little of both


Find me on 36 USB



Would that be 27.365 MHz (Channel 36) in the CB band?


or someplace simplex on 2 meters.



AM, SSB, or perhaps the more common FM?

Hey Scott, I'm not trying to be hard on you, but your misconceptions are
woefully common amongst CBers as they make their transition to HAM,
someday you'll look back and laugh at yourself too.

and your misconception is that cbers want to make the transition to
amateur freqs. 11 meters is mostly a ssb mode though i've worked
montserrat on fm which is a rarity. cb is mostly am except for 36-39 and
in the old days 13 & 16 at least here on the island.
you sound like a typical imperial amateur. and i use the word 'amateur'
as the dictionary defines it.
