NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-FIELDSCR-17-00024574
On June 12, June 29, July 19, and July 22, 2017, Agents from the Miami Office of the Federal 
Communications Commission’s (Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau confirmed by direction 
finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 89.5 MHz were emanating from your
residence on NW 37
th
Avenue in Miami Gardens, Florida.  Florida property records indicate that 
you are also the owners of this property.  The Commission’s records show that no license was 
issued for operation of a radio station at this location on 89.5 MHz in Miami Gardens, Florida.  
Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
including 89.5 MHz, must be licensed by the 
FCC pursuant to Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act).
2
  The only 
exception to this licensing requirement is for certain transmitters using or operating at a power 
level that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the Commission’s rules.
3
  On 
June 12 and July 19, 2017, Agents made field strength measurements of the signal on frequency 
89.5 MHz, and on both dates, the measurements exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 
microvolts per meter (µV/m) at 3 meters for non-licensed devices.  Thus, this station is operating 
in violation of Section 301 of the Act.
4
  
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
seizure of the offending radio equipment, and criminal sanctions including imprisonment.
5
    
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED 
IMMEDIATELY AND MUST NOT RESUME.

we are 
informing you that the Commission’s staff will use all relevant material information before it to
