You sir may be a cretin, you may have a different format and you may not
seek (there is a difference between seeking and accepting) government or
agency assistance.
However this does not absolve Apna from the current regulations that we all
operate under, namely clause 3/1 3.

Terms, conditions, and restrictions
(1) From 1 October 2003, within a 25km radius of any broadcast transmitter
there must be no more than one low power FM transmitter broadcasting
substantially the same program (including simulcast or re-transmission) as
that broadcast transmitter. Broadcast transmitter means a low power FM
transmitter or any broadcast transmitter licensed pursuant to sections 48 or
116 of the Radio communications Act 1989.

What ever justification you may use to defend your position is not above the
law.

M.B.D
