This privilege is a double edged sword. About ten years ago I was
operating during a RTTY contest on 40 meters when I noticed a fairly
strong blast of white noise all across the band. The noise came and
went with a rhythm that suggested someone calling CQ. Long story
short, it turned out to be a fellow on the east coast of the US who
was using a homebrew class E amplifier. He would not answer me on the
air so I sent him an email after the contest was over. Never heard him
again.
Such transgressions are rare but they do happen.
