Where are you and what channel is it? On a physical level, the only real barrier is buying the right equipment.

If you’re say, in the US, then transmitting on a channel where you’re not supposed to likely gets you a visit from the FCC.

Thing is, if you’re trying to compete with broadcast FM you’re going to have a really hard time overpowering their signals most of the time.

If you’re just competing with some other amateur, then expect to get yelled at.
