i've operated out of band for 30 years without any FCC intrusions, BUT i
do
not operate on the ham freqs, that's asking for problems

And Thank you for not doing so. It shows a wisdom that
some can't fathom--they want it ALL! I don't agree with
"freebanding", but I am not here to debate that. You are
smart to avoid the ham frequencies simply because 1) the
bands are usually busy and someone is likely to hear you,
and 2) if you are heard, they WILL report it. As a part of the Amateur
Service, there is a concept of self-policing. Yep, there are what are called
"Official Observers" (appointed by ARRL), and individual hams that *may*
report any "bandits" on the frequencies The
more intellectual minds among us understand that the hams are only trying
to protect what is their own "turf".
Such a simple principle: stay OUT of the ham bands, and
the hams aren't likely to bother you.

Really BIG HONKIN' YAWN.....


Good! Yawn all you like. If you get one of those letters,
I betcha you'll get pretty wakeful.

If you aren't operating out of band, don't worry about it
and go back to sleep.
