Agreed. And your neighbors. All semiconductor chips have a diode junction formed with the chip substrate that can partially demodulate HAM. My grandmother lived next to a home that had a HAM setup and it was annoying.
You will need an FCC license too. Don’t know which type.
Apparently, you can transmit digital data and modem communication?
“..Apparently, you can transmit digital data and modem communication?....”
Absolutely and in a big way too. Some of the newer “older guys” have blended both the old and new technologies into our DXing efforts (long distance contacts). There are a lot of different areas & facets to HAM. It’s a great hobby. Never regretted becoming one.
Its called a parasitic diode juction, its done a as preventative protective precaution but as we all know, things work in many ways...
