I don't remember the FCC code but the rules only allow transmissions of radio signals on specific wavelengths and powers. You would have to apply for a licence specifically for extra terestrial transmissions. And I dont think they would grant one. If you accidently sent a 2k watt signal at the same frequency as one of the iridium satalites you would burn out its electronics and be in some deep shit lol. Cheers Steve
