Pirate radio is alive and well on the AMBCB, FM and SW.
The FCC doesnt have the money to do much unless they QRM a licensed station. 
The pulled a raid in Boston recently....all Hispanic pirates....I wonder if 
they had Immigration with them (-;   Yeah sure!

Many of those bible thumper SW stations will lease time to anybody with 
money.

##  check out the various sites on the internet for pirate radio equipment.
Everything from 1 watt  up to 1 kw...and more with combiners.  They also list
the LP filters to go with the above equipment.  If the TX is say 89 mhz, the LP cutoff
will be 95 mhz.   It’s a hoot really.   They also sell all the usual audio gear to go with it,
like peak limiters, compressors, mixing boards, mic mixers, etc.   Then all the ants
cut for what ever freq you want.  Then various upgrades from mono to stereo. 
It would be hard to track down if it was a mobile setup. 

You are correct, a  lot of SW stations  will lease air time..and you supply the
programming.  Now all you gotta do is lease it for the entire contest weekend,
and get em to tweak the ants for the ham bands.   Just add a TR relay to the
mess, and you are set.. or use a remote RX  for full duplex.  SW already 
has 3900-4000  as a SW band...and ditto with 7200-7400, 15.100 band,
etc.
