The Commission’s records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station

Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
 including 107.1 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.

On August 16 and October 25, 2017, Agents made field strength measurements of the signal on 
frequency 107.1 MHz, which 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.

of Section 301 of the Act.
