Legally your probably right, unless the guy gets an appropriate amueter radio
license.  Technically, your probably wrong.  Example: Israel in the Lebanon
campaign frequently sent radio drones up which were really souped up mdel
airplanes.  They not only carried real time TV, but equipment to simulate
a larger plane, in an effort to activate enemy antiaircraft batteries.
