The authorities will stop you sooner or later.

Back in the late 80s, a buddy was an radio ham and got several thousand watts of transmitting power. It was so powerful that he interfered with TVs in the neighbourhood, people heard him through their TVs.

He was lucky though as he hid all the equipment rather quickly. Soon after, you could see vans with a lot of antennas on the roof in the whole neighbourhood. They tried to track the source of interference down. Which would mean charges and a hefty fine.
