The suspect unit, a SKY-2000 digital FM transmitter, manufactured by Skywave Electronics, Inc., Rockford, IL, was located using a Commission mobile digital direction finding (``MDDF'') vehicle. Field measurements of the suspect transmitter determined it to be operating at 29 times the legal value that is authorized by Section 15.239 Commission rules. As a result of the Denver Field Office investigation, the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology Laboratory (OET) requested and obtained two sample transmitters from Skywave to be evaluated for compliance.

  • Radio stations in the FM broadcast band, i.e., broadcast stations that transmit on a frequency between 88 and 108 MHz, must be licensed by the FCC (47 U.S.C. § 301). The only exception to this licensing requirement in the FM broadcast band is for certain non-licensed low-power radio transmitters operating at a power level that complies with 47 C.F.R. § 15.239. This section limits such transmitters to the field strength of 250 (V/m at a distance of three meters from the transmitting antenna. On October 23, 2000, Agent Dombrowski returned to Dunwoody Village and used a calibrated Potomac FIM-71 Field Strength Meter to make a measurement of the station's signal at a distance of 100 feet from the antenna.

  • Angeles Office conducted an investigation at California Speedway. Using a FCC Mobile Digital Direction Finding vehicle and direction finding techniques, the agents detected radio transmissions on frequency 104.7 MHz from a location in the middle of the grounds of California Speedway. Field strength measurements revealed that the radio emissions exceeded the levels allowed for non-licensed operation under Sections 15.209(a) and 15.239(b) of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'').6 The measured field strength was 63,500 V/m or 254 times that permitted by the rules. 7.

The agents' measurements indicated that the station's field strength extrapolated to three meters was 1,737,906 V/m. Thus, the station operating on 99.7 MHz exceeded the permissible level for

  • 6, 1999, an agent in the Commission's Denver Field Office investigated a complaint of an illegal FM broadcast station. In the course of that investigation, the agent found that the station was using Skywave's SKY-2000 digital FM transmitter. Field strength measurements taken during the investigation showed that the SKY-2000 was operating at 29 times the permitted level authorized by Section 15.239 of the Rules for a non-licensed low-powered transmitter. Subsequently, the Commission's Office of Engineering and Technology (``OET'') requested and obtained two sample transmitters from Skywave to be evaluated for compliance with its Authorization, and found that one of the units failed to conform to the emission requirements of the Authorization. OET issued a citation to Skywave on October 5, 1999

In this order, we affirm a $5,000 forfeiture assessed against Edwin Valentin by the former Compliance and Information Bureau for operating an unlicensed FM radio station on frequency 106.3 MHz in Pontiac, Michigan, in contravention of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''), 47 U.S.C. § 301, and Sections 15.209 and 15.239 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules''), 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.209 and 15.239. 2. In 1997, the Commission's Detroit Field Office investigated complaints that an unlicensed FM radio station was broadcasting on 106.3 MHz in the Detroit, Michigan area, and eventually determined that Rev.

Microbroadcasters operate low-wattage radio stations without licensing approval from the FCC. Microbroadcasters generally use 1 to 95 watts of power to broadcast their FM radio signals.

The signal significantly exceeded the maximum intensity allowable under FCC regulations for unlicensed broadcasting. See 47 C.F.R. § 15.239(b) (88-108 mhz FM transmissions not exceeding 250 micro-volts per meter at distance of 3 meters).

  • and Procedural Background In late April and early May 1993, agents from the FCC's Field Operations Bureau ("Bureau") monitored transmissions on an FM frequency from an unlicensed, low power radio station in Berkeley, California, which identified itself as "Free Radio Berkeley." The strength of the signals was determined to be greater than that permitted for unlicensed stations under 47 C.F.R. 15.239(b).[2]^(2) The agents traced the transmissions to an antenna on the roof of Dunifer's residence and, in June 1993, the Bureau sent Dunifer a Notice of Apparent Liability for a monetary forfeiture of $20,000. Dunifer filed a response to the notice asserting constitutional, statutory, and evidentiary arguments why a forfeiture should not be imposed, all of which the Bureau rejected. In
