   I believe it would be legal to use a CB modified to run on 10 meters.  After    
   all, ham radio is about expermenting and actually building radios if one were    
   so inclinded.   
      
   I wasn't addressing the legal aspect of anything, just  the techinal ability    
   to do it.  Sure some body could put a HF rig on the CB band, and turn the    
   power down to 4 watts and nobody would know it wasn't a CB, but that not what    
   people do that for, they use HF rigs because they can put out lots of power    
   with no amp needs, illegal yes, but it's doable.    
      
   But a CB on ham bands as long as it was done and used body somebody with the    
   proper class license (Advanced class in Canada) it would be ok, just not a    
   whole lot of power...
