As a ham radio operator, I certainly know the need for power to have communications (done some CB'ing also).  With the advent of the cell phone, CB has pretty much gone by the wayside.  When I have the time to operate my station, I will occasionally flip to the CB band.  Pretty dead.  Most of the truckers that I talk to have their ham licenses and use the VHF repeaters.

As for why 11 meters,  some politics involved way back then as well as commercial interest.  Just like today.  Still, glad everything is settling down. :)
