Assuming freebanders have ham licenses. Most don't.


Post your source, Dave.


Any ham who works H.F. knows that conditions vary between the bands.
If DX is the name of the game, those who are rabid about it, will seek
out whatever avenues exist to achieve that goal.


Even if it means illegal operation.


From a propagation standpoint, there is little difference in
conditions between 10, 11 and 12 meters. But there are far more
operators on 11 meters at any given time, so there are more chances to
make that "rare" contact.

That doesn't make it right, but it does explain why.


You are clueless, Dave. 11 meters can be wide open when 10 and 12
meters are totally dead. That's the nature of the band and that part
of the spectrum. And that's one big reason why many hams operate
illegally on the CB.
