This is super interesting! And if anyone else is curious about creating a project that monitors the range of RF amplitude and frequency at many data points around the world, then send me your contact info! I want to see a record of this spectrum (human and non-human made) in frequency and amplitude to see how much it is (and hopefully "has") changed in physical space. I think interesting things would come out of this data.

Any idea if its legal? I assume it is but I have no idea.

Listening is 100% fine in the USA. Transmission without a ham license, and in certain bands, will net you some fines and maybe jail time.

Any spectrum recordings would almost be guaranteed to include copyrighted content, and in the US distributing those recordings would fall afoul of the DMCA.

That's not how RF works. The courts have heard cases like this. Look up the talk on CreepyDOL from defcon.
