NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDNER-17-00024805
On September 13, 2017, Agents from the New York Office of the Federal Communications 
Commission’s (FCC or Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) investigated an unlicensed 
FM station operating on the frequency 104.7 MHz in Bronx, New York. The Agents confirmed 
by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 104.7 MHz were emanating from
a residential property on McClellan Street, Bronx, New York. The Commission’s records show 
that no license was issued for operation of a radio station on 104.7 MHz at this location in Bronx, 
New York.  You identified yourself as the operator of the radio station and acknowledged that 
you had no authorization to operate the radio station.  
Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
including 104.7 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 or mode of operation that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the 
Commission’s rules.
3
  The field strength of your signal on frequency 104.7 MHz was found to 
exceed 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.
4
  
You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid radio 
station authorization, or in violation of the Commission’s RF radiation limits, 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 Commission.  Your response should be sent to the address in 
the letterhead and reference the listed case number.  Under the Privacy Act of 1974,

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.
