    absolutely .. usually can find some dx from the uk around 27700-27800 running fm. locally
    its great cause you use the squelch knob and your recieve is quiet until someone keys up.
    theres 3-4 locally here that use it especeially when skip conditions are really high we goto
    fm turn up the squelch and were good. ive talked to florida once on fm was pretty neat

    I was unaware that FM was an option on 11 meters. My radios only do AM and SSB.

    Unless you have say an 10 meter export converted for cb then you wont find fm on your radio. FM is definitely a fun mode to talk on although I've never talked skip using it.
