Never heard FM on the standard 40, but have talked some FM skip down on 26.805. It would kinda make sense to use 27.305-27.355 for FM leaving 36-40 for SSB and 1-29 for AM
Yes, 26.805 has become about the default for me for FM in the US/Canada. I enjoy those operators when they break squelch ! Your channels do make sense but then 27.305 USB is a heavy used channel for contacts and nets. We definitely need some FM channels on a gentleman's agreement by cb radio operators into the mix to make this modes an option. JUst like the SSB/AM days on 35-40 that still geos on. Maybe using the CTCSS on exports. Thanks for commenting !
Yeah, FM needs to find a home on 11 meters. I have heard a couple FM stations running FM on Channel 38 ! Listening to FM on SSB channels was interesting as they some what co-existed !

@@EricTechstuffs I definitely agree! FM is a good mode to use. I had no idea about 30 USB… I’ll have to check that out 👍🏻
@@EricTechstuffswhat is the story about this frequency choice? I heard a guy yesterday from Québec in France but with 500w... 😂
@@14KiloWhisky I know there is a Facebook group dedicated to 26.805 I think someone just picked it out.
@@14KiloWhiskythere is no quebec in france
FM on the 10 meter amateur band is generally on 29.600. Maybe but Channels 30-35 for FM CB, but just my thoughts.

CB sucks. I have a 10m rig that does CB and its just loud people all day, then when the band closes, its dead silence.
It really has gotten a lot worse out there for sure. It's a shame !
It won't be more than a few ears and US will use FM on all channels. Much better than AM. Greetings from Europe wich have had FM since the 80s.
