Assuming it was completely for free (ie you didn't make them sign or agree
to some specific license) then I hope you can't sue them.

Again, assuming the public are legally allowed to receive that radio
frequency freely, then that transmission is already "released" to the
public. You shouldn't be then allowed to try and control what the public
does with your transmission. If you want to control your work, don't
release it for free to the public.
