This is the crux of the matter...and whether or not you'll be able to do this depends on how far away your neighbors are. I'm lucky, we live on 4 acres, and the nearest houses are about 500 ft away, so we could probably make an FM transmitter system for our house that would meet the interference requirements, even though it might exceed the allowable field strength. If you're in an apartment or high density housing tract, it might be impossible.
