Apparently not stupid, considering they got away with it for over seven years. The Grio brings rich rewards, if played well in a state with a black government. One can do a lot of damage when the local government is willing to turn a blind eye.
Hey, makes me wonder a bit about how swell things would be if we just let states and cities rule things, huh?
To clarify what I meant when I said it was "stupid" ....
1. Low power FM signals are incredibly easy to track down with minimal to no direction finding equipment using a simple receiver with a signal strength meter and a way to attenuate the signal.
2. The limited reach of low-power FM signals doesn't exactly give one a signal heard outside of what, a few square miles?
3. No way to monetize it (make money) from one's broadcasts.
So that's what I meant by "stupid" irrespective of his not being "caught" for seven years. He wasn't "caught" because no one was listening and looking for him.
