[Noisebridge-discuss] [CQ] Elevator Call Radios for Noisebridge

[nils at shkoo.com]

My understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that it's a 
violation of FCC regulations to transmit on non-HAM frequencies using 
equipment that is not licensed to do so, which HAM radios aren't.

So you may only use FCC-licensed CB equipment to transmit on CB 
frequencies.

I'm sure some people have modded (or built their own) HAM gear and do it 
anyways though. :)
