FCC issues warning to alleged unlicensed stationThe FCC's Western Region Enforcement Bureau has issued a Notice of Unlicensed Operation to Alan and Maria Conrad of San Diego. The regulatory agency claims that the pair allegedly operated a transmitter on 106.9 MHz without being licensed to do so. Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, reports: This past April 25th, agents confirmed by direction finding that radio signals on 106.9 MHz were emanating from the Conrad's property. The Commission's records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station at that location in San Diego, California. In its letter to the Conrads', the FCC said that operation of radio transmitting
device without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation
of Federal law. That it could subject the operator to severe penalties,
including substantial monetary forfeitures, seizure of the equipment and
criminal sanctions including imprisonment of the station The Conrad's were given 10 days from the date of the notice to respond and to provide evidence that they have authority from the FCC to operate the station. If the FCC makes their response public, we will let you know what they say.
