Actually, the radio amateur next door could be doing so legally and then
running it through a high gain antenna for several more dB.  Just last
week at work, we were testing some 38 GHz gear for a short haul
microwave link.  We had it covered in black foam that's designed to
absorb microwaves and keep it to safe levels.  If you see me and I look
like I'm sunburned, that's why!  ;-)
