In my experience, it was usually the regulars who "took care of things".

Okay, I'll bite. What happens if you do?

I think the FCC/FBI/Police combined response in the US averages under 20 minutes in most metropolitan areas. Most NATO countries will respond in a similar way. You'll wind up at the local police station talking to a bunch of federal officials with cheap shoes and expensive sunglasses. If you're out in central Utah or something it make take them a couple of hours to get to you - or at least, to get to the place where you sent the message from and start tracking you.
The working presumption is that you're transmitting some kind of 'control' message for terrorists and/or spies. The location of the radio receiving your broadcast is completely untraceable, so this reads as "somebody is about to attack and we don't know where." And if it turns out that you're not actually doing that, you're still going to be found guilty of sending coded messages on a public channel, which carries some disproportionate criminal penalties.

I'm trying to find information about this but can't. Where'd you find this out?

Numbers Station
Morituri:
I knew someone who started reading a long list of temperatures (from different minutes during a test of a motor) to one of his mechanic friends and promptly got arrested. Then I found out about the wonderful world of Numbers Stations and FCC emergency response vans.
