[Elecraft] High End Operators?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Back in the 1950's there were many "use or lose it" warnings from the ARRL
about 11 meters. After Hams lost 11 meters to CB, rigs like that Johnson
Ranger became worth their weight in gold to CBers who wanted the higher
power (65 watts) since CB operations used AM back then.

My boat anchor Collins 75A3 receiver and Johnson Ranger transmitter have 11
meters on them. Before 1958, 11 meters was shunned by hams in favor of 10
meters. Little surprise the FCC repurposed it.
