If he can be heard on FM more than a half a block, tops, he's not Part 15
legal. I have a 35 watt transmitter and a 5/8 wave antenna that won't
cover more than about 3 miles (of course, there are stations every
200-600 KHz here, so there is no such thing as a clear frequency).

35 Watts on FM Broadcast is good for coverage to beyond the horizon.
That's a huge amount of power.

Not so much when you have one station 200 KHz below you and another 400 KHz
above you.. and that's the WIDEST space available.. Much of the FM dial
here in my area is a station on every channel.. my car radio may as well not
even have a scan feature.
