Digital modes on 11 meters

[mechanic]

I have heard packet mode on the DX band of 11 meters above channel 40. My question is about the other modes such as JT65, FT8, Olivia or RTTY and more.
Since the FCC has loosened the distance restriction stands to reason the rest of 11 meters should be less strapped.

The problem with digital modes is it is far easier to cause splatter with them. On amateur radio gear anything more than just a tickle of the ALC meter indication when TXing usually means a splattering signal, if its moving to levels typical on voice you'll have lots of people complaining. When it comes to CB people seem incapable of using mic gain properly so I reckon it would be hell if they all started on digital modes.

Mechanic I have also heard the data on 11 meters, and in EU there seems to be some use of digi modes.
Should work fine, like any other hf band propagation permitting.

Do you guys think the average CB person cares about interference?
Just look at the videos of what these guys are doing.

I wish people would use them, but they won't. I have an AOR digital voice that kicks ass on the hf bands. Only know of one cber that has another.

This would be a perfect time to run FT8 or JS8 on 11 meters...

I have been leaving FT8 running the past to days on 10M... recieved a dozen or CQ calls from the US and South America...
