And the FCC wants them stamped out. Eric Evans in Yuma, Arizona, operating at 96.5-FM from his home, and Arthur Ware from Des Moines, Washington, operating at 88.3 from his business, are both given 10 days to shut down their illegal radio stations and explain to the government why they were doing so.
So I am curious. How many of these 10 day notices actually get a response? So far I have only read of one from Florida that must have got spooked. I am friends with a fellow that works for the FCC that is a pirate himself which I find hilarious. He said give it 6 months and it will be forgotten. Go back on and it’s business as usual. I think that the FCC has their hands full of problems as it is to have time and money to chase pirates to say anything about ensuring Pai’s threats against American’s claiming back their airwaves are maintained. I love the word-play in those enforcement letters.
“You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any evidence that you have
authority to operate granted by the Commission.”
Why should anyone explain to them something we have partial ownership of? It’s the same thing as explaining why I live in the house I own.
Leave them alone. They probably care more about radio than the suits
