Ethical question

can an unlicensed person using radio technology to violate part 15 still
be in violation if he had a ham license (we're talking about using 802.11A
at full power for a 10 mile shot folks!).

I didn't look up any rules or sections of law anywhere, so I guess I'm
answering a question blindly. I'm in Canada, but I felt compelled to answer
even if I misunderstood the question.

I believe that government has written into law that a licensed ham
should only use the power, or enough power required or necessary to
communicate. Ten miles down the road is not a really great distance,
contrary to what some CBers think, so maybe you could still use smoke
signals to communicate unless you are then violating pollution-control laws,
and or harming the tree environment/ecology system of the area by burning
code into the sky.

I think that this part of the law still stands in Canada....that one
should only use enough power to communicate whether it be an emergency or
not.

If I missed your intention by 10 miles, please ignore this post. Thanks,

Jack
