In the cave, the signal is not likely to get out, and if the signal cannot get out, then its range does not go beyond the cave, and if the signal cannot be heard farther than a certain distance, does this not fall under part 15 of the FCC regs. Therfore in a cave, anything would be legal, except maybe transmitting on the lower end of the RF spectrum. So now freeband transitters, export radios, $200 chinese FM broadcast transmitters and other assorted nasties would have a legit market. HMMM, the underground loophole. Could this be reality or just a another crazy idea i thought up?

Why would they care?
How would they even find you?
Now all you need to do is buy yourself a cave...

The FCC has jurisdiction in the U.S. over anything RF related. They don't have njurisdiction over property. If you were doing something RF related that was illegal in a cave, they can still fine you. First they would have to find you, though.
This is like the "if a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound" question
