Unless the 'to own' legislation was carefully drafted, amateur TV operations on 70 cms would be illegal (they're UHF for sure). Similarly, many large, powerful MATV/CATV installations would likely be illegal too. Neither application is illegal to do - although you need to be a licensed amateur for the former, of course.

I'm very secptical that the law says 'to own' because there's so many potential legitimate uses and users of equipment at least capable of transmission to air.

If it is 'to own', it would have to have been a very carefully drafted piece of legislation.

Best regards,
