(Sorry to be the Voice Of Your Mother once again, but... :-))  Think
twice before doing anything that might interfere with distress frequencies
or aircraft navigation.  The Feds deeply disapprove, put a high priority
on tracking you down, and have absolutely no sense of humor about it.
(Imagine yourself on an affected boat or plane and you'll see why!)
