Default Ideas on how to electronically track a float at sea?

Looking for something reasonably inexpensive to retrieve a float out at sea.
Would like about 2-3 mile range. If I could somehow use my FM radio that
would be great but I'm open to any ideas.

Find youself a good radio shop (not so easy these days ).
I would avoid any emergency channels.
A transmitter, with or without blinking LED, should not be a problem.

Legally, standard FM frequencies are out.

If you're running drugs, make sure that you use a standard Coast Guard
frequency. It will save time and tax dollars. )
