It gets better, 11m ops can now use their ham gear on 11m  FM.  Now they really get to blow S#@t up.
Funny thing is, I've never encountered much FM operation on the Class D Service since that Rule went into effect.

It's mostly used in the so-called "freeband" areas of the upper HF spectrum. But still rare to hear there.

They could start up there own (mono),  FM rock n roll station.

13 yrs ago, a few of us tried FM on 75m for a laff, like at 2 am, for all of 5 mins.  Previous to that, we all tried AM, the week before.   Well, neither experiment worked out too good.   I did try a kw FM on 10m, talking to a local buddy, when he was mobile.    "full quieting".

I still don't understand why ya'll are so obsessed with CB'ers.
"communicator" than Hams that have taken the lazy, computer scripted automated text message thingy road.

Fact.

The spiel may be old, but never more true of that lazy, computer scripted automated text message thingy.

Like I said, CBers have more communication skills than those that take the lazy way.

So glad I could "trigger" you, it's been my pleasure.

RR73, bwahahahahaha!

You only wish you could.  A diatribe that never changes is pretty much over with before it started.  Like you.

By the way, how many decades has it been since you saw your neck?  Does steroids do what they say it does 'downstairs'?

While I don't much care for 11M OPs, as long as they stay in their own 'sandbox' and don't bother me, I won't bother them. However, some in their quest to 'swing the biggest monkey' with regards to amplifiers left me somewhat appreciative of their efforts. I'm not talking about the Hunter Bandits, the Mars or the D&A junk you see at hamfests. I'm talking about people with some amount of talent to go and put 8X3-500Z's on 27Mhz without any of them going into oscillation oblivion! People like Shane and Will Matney(RIP) on the old AMPS reflector made me have a greater appreciation for some of their efforts. I'm not saying there aren't any 'Rube Goldbergs' out there, (our community isn't shy of them either), but we ought to exam some of the successes and see how we can apply the same.
