I imagine it would get you a visit from the FCC. Does the phrase
"deliberate interference" have any meaning to you?

We hams have enough bad PR problems without jerks like you getting on
the evening news.

Except the Ham Station is a "Licensed Radio Service", which has Priority
over any unlicensed system for the purposes of "Interference Problems",
on ANY Frequency. Mr. WalWart wouldn't get two steps with the local FCC
as his is an unlicensed or Part15 operation, and is specifically subject
to, and must "accept" interference from a Licensed Radio Service, and
must not cause interference to any Licensed Radio Service using the same
frequency.

Me been there, Inspected that, shut down the unlicensed operation
had the "Big Shot" complain to HQ..... got him NOWHERE....
