I knew a guy who was broadcasting on 98.5 in King of Prussia. He was never bothered by the Feds. The locals knew he was doing it; in fact they gave him some equipment.

One guy called him up and just wanted to chat about stuff, intrigued by his setup. My friend said "okay, let me give you directions to my place." The guy said "No, let me try to find YOU." Five minutes later my friend had a knock on his door. The guy had the equipment to triangulate, I suppose, and find the signal.

HOWEVER

I wouldn't broadcast knowing it was against federal law. The risks are just not worth the payoff of having a little fun like that.

Also, as far as "community" goes, anyone can stop being a member of a "community" of radio station listeners simply by pressing the "off" switch. It's a hell of a lot easier than moving, and a hell of a lot more reasonable than saying others should conform to fit "your" opinion.
