Perhaps not against hams, but cases of FCC enforcement actions against

Jim, I am a pilot, etc. I am aware of enforcement actions against
radio repair stations for radiating excessive power on the same
frequency as the VOR on the field, etc... But, I was very specific in
my comments... No enforcement action against a ham for using test
equipment - ever - insofar as I know... This is so unlikely as to
equal betting on the Megamillions Lottery this weekend, for several
reasons... The first reason is that we are licensed to radiate those
emissions in the first place... The second reason is that
unintentional interference must be accepted in the ham bands per the
regulations... The third is, Rily has a sense of humor...


As Homer Simpson once mused:

"Can God Make a Burrito that is too hot for him to eat?"


It was a well deserved citation against that radio repair station. And
the antenna range too. But neither of those are the same issue.

But since we have descended from the sublime into the ridiculous, I have
noted that it is occasionally possible to accidentally make a QSO with
another OP while connected to a dummy load. I've done this a number of
times on PSK31.

Are there specific rules and limits to the radiation from dummy loads?
And if not, are Dummy loads illegal?
