NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Numbers: EB-FIELDNER-17-00025342
                   
On December 4, 2017, an Agent from the Boston Office (Boston Office) of the Federal 
Communications Commission’s (FCC’s or Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) 
investigated an unlicensed FM station operating on the frequency 92.1 MHz in Randolph, 
Massachusetts.  The Agent confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on 
frequency 92.1 MHz were emanating from your residence on Himoor Circle in Randolph, 
Massachusetts.  The Commission’s records show that no license was issued for operation of a 
radio station on 92.1 MHz at this location in Randolph, Massachusetts.  The Boston Office 
investigated and determined you are the owner or operator of the unlicensed FM station on 
92.1 MHz in Randolph Massachusetts.
Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
 including 92.1 MHz, must be licensed by the 
FCC pursuant to Section 301 of the Communication 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
  Agents measured the field strength of the signal on the frequency 
92.1 MHz for the station and found that it 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.
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 may subject the 
operator to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, in rem

arrest action against the offending radio equipment without further notice, and criminal 
sanctions, including imprisonment.
5
    
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 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.
