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.

Tom, the referenced clown did broadcast deliberate interference on two HF
maritime hailing and distress frequencies. That's more felonies to his
credit, and if records show there was distress traffic anywhere during that
time frame, it could get even worse for him.

Which two frequencies would they be?
