Seeing 11 meter and 10 meter are so close is a person going to be able to have their antenna set perfect for 11 meter communication but still be able to listen only to 10 meter? Something a novice has to think about !
 

My Imax 2 K does 10 and 11 meter fine, even 15 meter where it is a half wave.
26,5 to 29.000 under 1:1.3 good enough for me 15 meter 1: 1.2.
Horizontal OCF from Fritzel also works fine on 11 and 10 bit higher SWR but under 1:2.

Thank for the good info. The more you can listen to the more it prods you to make the move and maybe get a Ham license !
