Spinning it at 1575.42 Million RPS would create a 1575.42 MHz radio wave. That specific frequency is used by the GPS - so by doing this you'd be interfering with the reception of GPS signals, which is the illegal act you'd go to jail for here.

    The only people who would consider this common knowledge would be ham radio operators, who need to be licensed.

    And even those people would probably just consider it common knowledge for people that are into ham radio.
