Wow... and I thought I was the only one! I brought in a 1984 era Model M! I get picked on something fierce... I've even started hoarding them on the odd chance that one might break!
Funny thing, I was cleaning out my home office and came across my original box of "The Norton AntiVirus" Version 1.0. From the box "Runs under MS/DOS (PC/DOS) 2.1 or higher". "Includes both 3 1/2 and 5 1/4 disks" WooHoo! Wonder if I can still get updates for it....
Sheesh... is having a positive opinion of America's armed forces a high crime on/. ??? Message after message of bash bash bash.
That said, accessing a department of defense computer system without authorization is a felony, so yah, they really *could* go after people if they wanted to.
Irrespective of any other rule, for almost all frequency bands, you can't have more than 1 watt ERP. Neglecting cable loss for a moment (yes, I know), if Barry feeds 100mW into an antenna with more than 3 dB of gain, the ERP will be more than a watt, and most definately illegal here in the U.S. Most 'omni' antennas actually have a donut shaped pattern, and can easily give 3 dB of gain. A one watt signal is easily visible from a mile with good line of sight, way more if you know what you are looking for. Food for thought.
