Probably deviation.  Hrmmmm....don't recall the freq. for ch 11.

It's pretty cool.  The UO-14 is the easiest bird to work.  In fact, I
worked it once recently with my FT-50R and the rubber ducky at max
power(5w).  There are some store and forward packet birds too, and MIR
used to have some packet gear, but I don't recall the status of that.
Then there are other birds with 10m downlinks as well.  

The pileup on the FM birds is nuts though -- making a QSO is damn near
impossible, since I've noticed some folks get a directional and burn
150-300 watts toward it and quash everyone else. :(

Hopefully my new yagi will fix that problem....
