With FCC continuing to cite folks and issue fines (something almost unheard of a few years back), could it be a bit risky to continue operating outside the CB band without the proper license?

Ignorance is bliss............................. Those who think they know what they are doing DON'T---either to others OR themselves. That's why they are laws to punish those who act like "rebels"! They protect the innocent as well as the stupid.

Reckless and unwitting use of excess power is more likely to make a monkey out of those who treat it foolishly---a DEAD one.

Read up on what microwaves can do to the human body. HIGH wattages at lower frequencies are also suspect according to scientists. All those "watts" may contribute to a mysterious onset of cancer later in life. It has been shown that high RF power heats up cells of the body.

Amateur operators who ARE allowed to use high powers are required to use certain formulas to check that their radio setups do not adversely affect THEM or OTHER innocent people. The unwitting and unwise obsession with wattage is sad really.
