I won't deny it!

Now, if you want my honest assessment, I find the whole thing fraught
with ethical questions.

What if someone isn't listening to the radio when the message is
broadcast? What about the people who don't live near railroad tracks?

If this thing is to *actually* work, it would have to be space based.
Work with a database of the frequencies in use in the affected areas.
broadcast on them as the need arises. FM will be easy. AM will be some
more work. Of course you'll still have to deal with the people who
aren't listening at the moment!

Of course if it just a research project to burn up some money, then
*that* is a different subject altogether!
