NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDNER-17-00025807
On January 10, 2018, Agents from the Chicago Office of the Federal Communications 
Commission’s (FCC’s or Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) investigated a complaint 
of an unlicensed FM station operating on the frequency 100.9 MHz in Bridgeport, Connecticut.    
The Agents confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 
100.9 MHz were emanating from a commercial property at 2320 Main Street, Bridgeport, 
Connecticut.  Through investigation, Agents confirmed that you are the operator of the 
unlicensed radio station.  The Commission’s records show that no license was issued for 
operation of a radio station on 100.9 MHz at this location in Bridgeport, Connecticut.  
Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
 including 100.9 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
  On January 10, 2018, Agents measured the field strength of the signal on 
the frequency 100.9 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, the station was operating in violation of 
Section 301 of the Act.

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 will subject the 
operator to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, in rem seizure of the offending radio 
equipment without further notice, substantial fines, and criminal sanctions, including 
imprisonment.
5
  
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THESE RADIO STATIONS MUST BE 
DISCONTINUED IMMEDIATELY AND MUST NOT RESUME.
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,
6
 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.
