if i were to float out to bermuda and xmit would i be
freebanding there?


What about just outside of American waters?

I am not sure that it still exists but, for years, we had a Pirate radio
station that was just outside of UK waters... the Gov. couldn't touch them.

Bottom line......for all practical and intent purposes, the United
States consider LICENSED stations AND operators under its jurisdiction
governed by the laws set forth by the FCC. It's why those fishing boats
were popped not too far back for conducting their business on the
freeband...they were way out in the Bering Sea, but they were registered
US crafts.

we had the same thing here off the coast of long island with a ship called
the jessie or something along those lines. it was shut down by the fed gov
because it broadcast within the territorial limit. it basically played
beatles tunes with no commercials. low power you bet. was it interfering
with commercial broadcasts? not with that power. if it aint taxed it
must be illegal...
