I doubt if the hams who freeband are dumb enough to use their calls
there (but you never know). But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that
they are "recognized" there by other people who turn them in.

Some might ID by mistake out of habit before they realize that
they are out of band.....

WOuld it be illegal to use my callsign as my "cb handle" on
CB using legal CB equipment? Or would I be using my ham
license out of band? Not that anyone would really care, but....

Freebanders don't generally ID themselves at all. To actually track
one down would be a lot harder.


Yes, I agree. It just seems funny that the latest freeband bust seem
to be hams running out of band over unlicensed operation.


I've heard second hand of hams, bored of regular ham bands,
doing "freeband" for a change of pace.
