Instead of telling you how stupid your question is - I will refer you to
the FCC web site - Part 97.....

Part 97 says - no unauthroized transmissions - hence if you cannot ID
your signal, you cannot transmit anywhere except 11 meters.
11 meters you are limited to no more then 3 watts AM or 12 watts PEP
SSB..
No digital modes and no repeaters on 11 meters.

11 meters has nothing what so ever to do with the question.

There are many ways to ID a signal, and "unauthorized transmissions" has
little to noting to do with IDing.

Second off - if licensed as an amateur - you have to follow the band
plan.

No, you don't; band plans are voluntary.

You have to follow the FCC frequency allocations.

You can't just pick a frequency that sounds quiet and start operating.
One amateur recently was fined for operating on 350 Mhz band, I think
his fine was around $12,000.00

Irrelevant.

Microwave ovens operate at 2.45 GHz.

There is an amateur band at 2.39 to 2.45 GHz. One should probably
force the frequency down a little to be safe.

Third - you would need to limit your transmit power to no more then 1500
watts PEP, and you would have to have the equipment no only to measure
the transmit power, but also to do a field survey - since if you had
neighbors, you would have to test the exposure limits in the
neighborhood.

Not quite.

First, there are few, if any, microwave magnetrons capable of 1.5 KW so
the requirement to measure output is moot; just pick one that puts out
less than 1.5 Kw.

Second, a field survey is not appropriate nor needed for a directional
antenna pointing into the sky.

Your records would have to be kept of when you operated and available
for review by the FCC - should they come knocking on your door.

Nonsense; the US requirement for ham logging went away a long time ago.

Most of the band specturm is being used for one thing or another and
just because you think that it is high enough that no one would hear
you, doesn't mean that someone isn't using it for something legally /
commercially..

Again, nonsense as there is a ham band where microwave oven magnetrons
operate.

Read your own links and note the 2.39 to 2.45 GHz ham band.
