RF interferance, simple question
Obviously this is a hypothetical. PAX may get a bit iffity if a HAMer starts talking to... well anyone really. I'm just wondering is all, as on the ground the comms window is only about 10 or so minutes, less on a handheld to communicate with the ISS as it passes overhead.
Would a 5Watt transmission on 144.490MHz interfere with any equipment on board? If no, and the transmitter were licensed would this be, strictly speaking, illegal. I imagine it would be against most airlines internal policies.
Thanks in advance, Jason.

LOL, thanks jungle, always up for a good cuffing and beating... Turns out its legal... But, airliners make a pretty fair Faraday 'cage' so in this hypothetical you lose most of what you gain.
