It's common practice for hams to refer to the frequency bands assigned to them by the approximate wavelength.
The 28 MHz band just above CB is normally called the 10-meter band.
Until 1959, the 27 MHz frequencies now used for CB were assigned to ham use. They referred to it as 11 meters.
And when the FCC took it away from ham use, and created the CB service, hams were annoyed for decades after.
But referring to a CB as an "11-meter" radio is just ham lingo.
