It's a funny thing.. Regulations, and the laws that back them up
are there so that every one gets a reasonable right to use things
to their own, and everyone else's benefit.
Most of us agree to follow those regulations, because we see the
benefit in them, to society as a whole.
Some folks are just selfish enough to think that their use trumps
everyone else's enjoyment of a thing.
It's for that reason, that our reguations are enforced, and the
regulators have the power to leavy fines and further restrictions
on your use, if you abuse the priviledges you have.
If fines alone arn't enough to convince you that you should abide
by the rules.. then they start revoking your privelidge to use
the other sectors of things controlled by the government.. like
Federally issued licenses to use radio frequencies.. and fly planes
and do other things... And if you still prove to be a "slow leaner"
they throw you in jail, where you can no longer practice your
selfish ways.
So.. I hope you go ahead and do as you wish with the 11 meter
band.. and I do hope that you get caught.. and that they issue
fines which have you and your family eating beanie weanies for a
long time to come.. And that you find that life as a convicted
fellon isn't too unpleasant.
So.. If you feel that the only way you will be fullfilled in life
is to break the rules on the "clown band".. Please be my guest. I'm
sure they can find room for you at some federal supermax prison!
And.. by the time you have transmitted your signal on the clown band
at an illgal power level, what have you really achieved? Not a single
stinking thing.
Hope it's worth it to you.
Sheesh.
