I think your allowed quite a bit of power on the FM broadcast band without
requiring a license to operate.
I don't now remember the limit, but it's rather high and it's allowable
under some kind of experimental rules...
I seem to recall 50W erp?
7Watts even with a slight gain antenna isn't going to compete much with a
10,000 watt local FM broadcast station.
That's assuming you can only put the transmitter on preset frequencies and
not choose a locally clear frequency.
