Is this band still allocated for low power experimental use without a
license?

Yep, limited to 1 watt power input to the final, and the total
antenna/ground
system is limited to 50 feet.




Yes, the Transmit is limited to that power and antenna. However, the Rx
is not and I'd use a fairly large antenna or tuned antenna loop with a FET
follower at these frequencies.

For the rest of the Rx, a converter is a good way to go and the FET will
give a low enough output impedance for a regular mixer of some sort.
