NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDNER-17-00023948
On June 12 and 13, 2017 Agents from the New York Office of the Federal Communications 
Commission’s (FCC’s or Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) responded to a 
complaint of an unlicensed FM station operating on the frequency 91.3 MHz in Queens, New 
York.  The Agents confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 
91.3 MHz were emanating from 35-41 97
th
Street, Queens, New York. The Agents heard the 
radio station identify itself as “La Bakana 91.3.”  Later, the Agents identified you as the operator 
of this station on 91.3 MHz FM.   The Commission’s records show that no license was issued for 
operation of a radio station on 91.3 MHz at this location in Queens, New York.  
Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
including 91.3 MHz, must be licensed by the 
Commission 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 or mode of operation that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the 
Commission’s rules.
3
The field strength of the signal on frequency 91.3 MHz was measured at 
on both days, and at 447,695 and 488,531 microvolts per meter (µV/m), respectively at 154
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 Section 301 of the Act.

You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid radio

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.

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
