NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-FIELDSCR-16-00023106
Document Number: W201732600011
On February 25, 2017, agents from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques that
radio signals on frequency 93.3 MHz were emanating from a residential property on Louisiana
Road in Miami, Florida. Public records list you as the property owner. The Commission’s
records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station at this location on
93.3 MHz in Miami, Florida.
Radio stations operating on many frequencies, including 93.3 MHz, must be licensed by the FCC
pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301. 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, 47 CFR §§ 15.1 et seq. On February 25, 2017, the field
strength of the signal on frequency 93.3 MHz 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 47 U.S.C. § 301.
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
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 FCC. Your response should be sent to the address in the
letterhead and reference the listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), 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.
