Thats right, very good audio quality, much lower noise, 2 meters is the
best, CB sucks.

I was on my CB last night. I used sideband and some AM. I also
made a quick 2 meter contact. The noise level on 11 meters
started out quiet, got up to about 3db, then dropped back
down an hour later. About the time the static went up, there
was a bit of DX. Not-so-local signals were wavering a bit.

My 2 meter contact was only a few miles. It was the last
radio I used. Tuesday nights are 11 meter SSB net nights.

If you're in the mid-atlantic area, try 36LSB at 1930EST.
There are check-ins from MD, PA, DC, VA and DE. We don't
get west because there are mountains in the way.
