Yeah.  The FCC (the Men in CHeap Suits referred to by Bob BLick) will
REALLY climb down your throat fast, like next week.  I knew a guy in
high school who put together a pirate transmitter, and got a visit at
11:30 PM!

I used a cheap 1 watt transmitter kit to put a LEGAL radio station in
my dormitory.  I could transmit to the entire building, and about a
block around.  The transmitter lasted until I tried to soup it up to
2 watts (has my statute of limitations run out yet?)  I could
transmit 2 blocks, but it fried after an hour.
