Thanks for sharing your knowledge!SSB is a mode of operation or the eay the radio signal is modulated if you will. The designation of 10m or 11m or whatever is an approximation of the wavelength of frequencies in that band. 300÷F(mhz)=wavelength in meters. A 10m radio operates 28-29.7 Mhz while an 11m radio operates 26.965-27.405 which is the legal CB band. Most 10m radios are sold as such to get around FCC regulations and are easily modifiable for 11m frequencies and then some.
Thanks for all the replies! It's just sad that 38 lsb sounds like 19 am much of the time.
Can someone tell me if there's a difference between 10 meter ssb and 11 meter ssb? With a 10 meter radio, you can't talk on 11 meters can you?

11 meters to me not worth the time anymore. On the SSB frequencies, all you here is 30 or more people at the same time hollering out their numbers hoping someone will pick them up in between 2 big stations hogging up the frequency with their 2 way going on.
What fun is that!?
If you do catch a good DX(outside the US) you will be lucky to hold much of a QSO because you will be stepped on by the bigger radios who are impatient and could care less if you are in QSO!
On 11 meters, bigger radios have priorty!
Does that seem like fun?
If you are really interested in radio, consider getting a Ham license. It is not hard to get, only requires a small filing fee, and you can make worldwide contacts that are confirmed and even receive awards to display on the wall to show for your accomplishments if you desire.
That sounds awesome! I love the vintage radios! I never hear ssb on 1-23.britain has been using 27.275 lsb as a dx calling freq since they got legal ssb previlages,,,,,,,have made many contacts here lately,,,,,,,,,,channel 16 lsb has been a gathering spot for folks with 23 channel collectable radios to use and ragchew some,,,,
Check out any DX'pedition and it sounds the same.
