There is no "freeband". It will cost you $13K if Uncle Charlie finds you. Thus it's not free, so there's no freeband.... :-) Really, what can you do illegally on 27.567MHz that you, if you have a General or Extra class ham license, can do legally in the 10 meter ham band? |

Quite a few according to many of the more recent FCC enforcement actions. It would seem that the FCC is more likely to pop a licensed ham for operating out of their assigned bands, than they are in popping an unlicensed radio pirate. If you are going to freeband, having a ham license may actually be detrimental. The reason freebanding is as rampant as it is is that the FCC is simply not affecting all that many people. The chances of getting popped are very slim, and they usually give you a warning first, which gives you a chance to pull the plug. Freebanding is a violation of federal radio law, but without effective enforcement, that earns very little respect among those who pursue it. Dave "Sandbagger" http://home.ptd.net/~n3cvj |

Any ham who works H.F. knows that conditions vary between the bands. If DX is the name of the game, those who are rabid about it, will seek out whatever avenues exist to achieve that goal. From a propagation standpoint, there is little difference in conditions between 10, 11 and 12 meters. But there are far more operators on 11 meters at any given time, so there are more chances to make that "rare" contact. That doesn't make it right, but it does explain why.
