actually, having the capability to transmit on 11m isn't illegal in a ham
radio...but if you use that capability to transmit for anything other than
an emergency on that radio there could be some questions asked...as for
taking away your ham license, it's not done unless you are causing
intentional interference and over long periods of time and with many many
complaints against you etc.
Just like they don't take away your drivers license for speeding unless you
have multiple charges or are a serious danger to yourself and other drivers.
You have to commit some pretty serious crimes to have your ham license
revoked, and talking on 11M with a modified amateur radio is not one of them
lol. Even using high power on 11M is not something they really seriously
regulate unless you are causing harmful interference or have many official
complaints lodged against you. Just listen to 27.025 one day and tell me
running big power is something they care about any more.
now if you are running a kilowatt on channel 19 and harassing everyone on
there and giving out your address and phone number, you'll probably get
caught.
Run 3 kilowatts on channel 38 lower side and keep a low profile and you'll
get away with it forever.
Just like if you are driving a car and speeding and weaving in and out of
traffic and swerving and generally driving dangerously, your going to get
caught, but if you drive 10 miles an hour over the speed limit in a safe
calm manner your likely to have no issue with it out on the highway.
It's up to each individual to make a decision as to how they want to
interpret and abide by regulations and laws and what they are willing to
accept as far as potential risk...using a modified 10M radio on 11M is not
something I would say hurts anyone or causes anyone harm and certainly
doesn't put your amateur radio license at risk unless you are stupid about
it.
