jazzsinger's thread got me wondering, but i didnt want to hijack his thread with my questions, so, here they are.
these are directed at licensed ham ops, but all are welcome to opine.
yes, this is completely hypothetical.
The ARRL has been disbanded, or decommissioned. whatever.
The FCC has sold the entire HF/VHF/UHF spectrum, including the amateur bands, to companies for use in their commercial ventures.
All ham radio transmitting equipment is now illegal to use.
what would you do?
would you still pursue your hobby and become a "pirate"?
would you sell your equipment to others who might want to operate it illegally?
would you just pack it up and find a new hobby?
what would you do?
please do not explain to me why this would never happen.
i am asking what if it did.
