Illegal, as in how? if you used the 121.5 MHz ELT would there somehow
be a fine imposed?

how does that work?

actually no one's gonna complain if an actual emergency is indicated by
an ELT...BUT only 1/8 of all ELT signals turn out to be
emergencies....after 1/1/07 if one of those is triggered and the source
is identified, there could be a fine.
