Your ham license also removes any restrictions from modifying the Part 15 antenna as well as higher power levels.

Part 97.311(d) Spread Spectrum FCC Rules for Ham bands - The transmitter power must not exceed 100 W under any circumstances.

Wow, imagine the FPV range with a 100W transmitter on your Phantom. Which, however, would weigh more than your Phantom.

Nobody else could get close enough.

Really? "We all know" How smart you must be, I have been through there many times, hundreds of homes well within drone range of the incident. You know nothing.
