If one wishes to operate legally on 11 meters do not use CW or tone CW.
The only legal modes of communicating there is AM or SSB voice. Tone maybe
used as an alerting mechanism but not for other methods of communication.

Even though licenses are not required and most (not all) persons don't
follow the regs there, if you are caught violating the regs there you can
be refused an Amateur License. It can and does happen from time to time.

This is true! As the man said, tho most don't follow them - they DO exist.
They WILL be enforced - if so desired. Actually, an infraction of any radio
rule can deem you ineligible for not only an Amateur Licence but also any
other license from the FCC - even GROL. IF you hold a GROL and do something
stupid with it, it can cause your "amateur" license to be stripped.
Ignorance is no excuse. When you sign the forms - and your license(s) - you
agree to abide by the R/Rs.

Apparently if you have been convicted of a felony anything you can loose
your license also.

You're correct - and just a few days ago - there was a case of a "licensed"
individual who "allegedly" molested children and was convicted - the FCC was
debating renewing his license. So, it appears they take a dim view on
"criminals" being "license" holders. I guess they feel if you can't obey the
law of the land, why would you obey their rules and regulations! I wonder if
they take into account any one who's been convicted and had "successful"
rehab? That would be interesting to know.

That would explain why there are a lot of felons on CB then. You can hear
alot of them on 27.025 MHz.
