"Having a radio capable of operation on the Chickenband is much different than actually OPERATING a radio on the Chickenband."
Since when? POSSESSION of a non certified transmitter or amplifier that's capable of transmitting on 11M indicates INTENT and gets a citation for operating without a license. Don't ask, don't argue, when the FCC web site comes back look up all the violations. You'll see for yourself because you don't believe me.
"Go ahead, send me a PINK TICKET!"
Come into today's world, NALs have been on white letterhead at least since the 60s. (;->)
"Is it wise to announce on QRZ.com that you operate one of these radios?"
In the present tense I'd say no except for one thing, IF the FCC cruises around the CB web sites it's pretty obvious they don't care. Most NALs result from investigations started on solid ground with complaints of interference with other radio services. In the past tense I don't care, the statute of limitations ran out a LONG time ago. (;->)
