NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-FIELDSCR-18-00026127
On March 24, 2018, Agents from the Miami Office of the Federal Communications 
Commission’s (FCC’s or Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) confirmed by direction 
finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 90.1 MHz were emanating from your 
residence located on Northeast 148
th
 Street in Miami, Florida.  Florida property records indicate 
that you are the owners of this property.  The Commission’s records show that no license was 
issued for operation of a radio station at this location on 90.1 MHz in Miami, Florida.  
Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
 including 90.1 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.
3
  On 
March 24, 2018, Agents made field strength measurements of the signal on frequency 90.1 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.
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 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 THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED 
IMMEDIATELY AND MUST NOT RESUME.

 we are 
informing you that the Commission’s staff will use all relevant material information before it to
