Set up shop on any ham frequency at your own risk.
It might take them a while to locate you.
But keep in mind that a lot of hams love to find low powered, and
sometimes mobile, foxes with transmitters. Compared to the task of
tracking down a fox, an idiot running a stationary high powered signal
is hunting in a baited field.


Agreed, stay away from the ham bands if you want to pirate. Frankly, I
don't care what you do outside of the ham bands, as long as you're not
interfering with air traffic control comms or safety-of-life channels. But
you'd better know what you're doing when you set up shop on unauthorized
frequencies.

Which the very fact that this guy was located & shut down negates the whole
"the FCC must be turning a blind eye" theory. My question is why did
someone feel it necessary to put the station on the air in the first place?
Well I suppose the FCC will be asking the same questions.
