My uncle ran a pirate radio station in rural east Texas in the late 60s with a transmitter he built himself. He broadcast music, and I think some sermons on Sunday from the local Baptist church. It was very low power, probably no more than 15 miles range. Until my aunt ran a clothes line to the antenna and suddenly it could be picked up in Dallas. Within a few weeks the FCC had tracked him down and made him stop. Luckily they just confiscated the equipment rather than putting a teenager in jail.
