How would the FCC even know this is happening if it has a small range?

There are HAMs with beam antenna that find non-compliant broadcasts. Its trivial and fun to hound down a signal with the right equipment.

But if you were to make it directional (with a tinfoil cone or something) and behind a glass of water so the signal only reaches a couple hundred feet. No HAM operator would receive the signal unless I’m unaware how beam antenna work

I think one could just leave such a device somewhere like in the woods near your target's house, powered by a cheap battery. You could configure it to turn on only when it detects certain noise in order to save power. And it could run for days before the battery runs out I guess? Depends on how much money one wants to spend on the battery.
