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.


Helps hide you from the authorities...


- One should be careful with that.
- Depending upon their attitude,
- the FCC can lift ones amateur ticket
- for engaging in illegal broadcasting activity.

Amateur Ticket or not the FCC can Confiscate {take}
your Equipment : Meaning Everything that they feel is
part of your "Illegal" Radio Transmitting {Broadcasting}
System. - e v e r y t h i n g ~ RHF
