NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDNER-16-00021859
Document Number:  W201732260001
The Boston Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast radio station on 91.7 MHz 
was allegedly operating in Mattapan, Massachusetts.  On October 27, 2017, an agent from this 
office confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 91.7 MHz were 
emanating from your residence in Mattapan, Massachusetts.  The Commission’s records show 
that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station on 91.7 MHz at this location in 
Mattapan, Massachusetts.   
Radio stations operating on many frequencies, including 91.7 MHz, must be licensed by the FCC 
pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.  The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain 
transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation that complies with the 
standards established in Part 15 of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§  15.1 et seq.  The field 
strength of the signal on frequency 91.7 MHz was measured at 27,309 microvolts per meter 
(µV/m) at 228 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 µV/m at 3 meters 
for non-licensed devices.  Thus, this station is operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. §  301.
You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid radio 
station authorization constitutes a violation of the Federal laws cited above and could subject the 
operator to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, in rem 
arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and criminal sanctions including 
imprisonment.  (see 47 U.S.C. §§ 401, 501, 503 and 510).
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED 
IMMEDIATELY.
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 FCC.  Your response should be sent to the address in the 
letterhead and reference the listed case and document number.  Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 
U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission’s staff will use all relevant 
material information before it to determine what, if any, enforcement action is required to ensure 
your compliance with FCC Rules.  This will include any information that you disclose in your 
reply.
You may contact this office if you have any questions.
