There are potentially legal consequences if you transmit without a license. The most likely of which is they tell you to stop. If you are worried about it, pay the $35 and get license.

Thank you for further clarifying my point.

that doesn't make it not-permissionless. you can "get in trouble" for using bitcoin, too, but you don't need permission or an invite to **do it**. i can **Just do radio** similarly. it's just electromagnetic waves.

still permissionless. you guys are talking about after-the-fact consequences, not insurmountable barriers to action.

By that logic, everything that has regulation is really permissionless. Want to build a five-story tower next to your property line? Go for it! Open a factory in a residential area! Just do it!

yes.

Hell yeah. Become ungovernable! Fun fact: the callsigns of the recently deceased stay active in the FCC's system for up to 10 years.

JFYI: basic radio license in the US is 5 USD and the exam is remote. Costs more the FCC registration which is 35 USD or so. Anways, that is just to get an official radio callsign and additional frequencies. You can use radio in CB (Citizen Band) around 27Mhz and so on without any license, this is valid throughout most of the world and used heavily by truck drivers.

Thank you for further solidifying my point. In addition, CB is not Ham Radio (the hastag in the OP)
