I guess the FCC feals that the licensed amateurs should know better, and
they should know better, part of getting the license is studying FCC
regulations. Personally I feel that anyone that breaks the rules should get
nailed, all rules apply to all equally. I've admitted to having freebanded
before I got my ticket, and to running power. I still have radios that are
capable of tuning to the freeband but they are not even hooked up these
days. My license, and my money are not worth the trouble the freeband can
cause me.
