Alternatively you could operate high power from the mobile and move location every so often, your chances of getting caught running illegally would be substantially reduced.

in over 30 years of radio i've only heard of one static mobile station being busted, and they were sitting all day, next to a very sensitive establishment.

running illegal radio operations from a fixed location (you can never be certain what you are interfering with) makes you a sitting duck for Direction Finding vans, a lesson i learned the hard way almost 30 years ago.

Trying to DF a moving signal source takes a lot of resources. unless your interfering with military, emergency services or civil aviation the chances of anyone going to that hassle/expense is remote.
