The FCC recently rescinded the ban on power amps that work in the 11 meter

Not entirely accurate... at least, not yet.

They have proposed rescinding the Part 97 rule which places a whole
bunch of restrictions on the manufacture and sale of amplifiers which
can be used between 24 MHz and 35 MHz (the 10- and 12-meter amateur
bands, and the 11-meter CB band). This change has not actually been
enacted - they're inviting comments on whether it's a Good Idea or a
Bad Idea.

They have _not_ proposed making any change to the Part 95 rules, which
currently make it illegal to actually _use_ any such amplifier with an
11-meter (CB) transmitter.

So - if their proposed rule change is adopted, it'll be easier for
amateurs to buy amps that can be used on 10 and 12 meters.
General-purpose HF-band amplifier designs will probably be revised, to
"open them up" to the higher frequencies.

It will still remain illegal to use any such amplifier on the 11-meter
CB band.

Whether this illegality will stop anyone... well, that's another
question entirely!
