I used a modified NDB transmitter on my experiments on 2200m in the 2000s that helped get amateurs in Canada the band. No you won't die instantly using these bands... You'll just be more likely to get painful RF burns... Ultimately needed to move away from vertical E-field antennas antennas and use a H-field loop to make the first QSO with Japan from North American on 2200m. http://www.arrl.org/news/first-2200-meter-ve-ja-q...
