ARLA/CLUSTER: FCC multa radioamador em US $ 25.000 por operar estação de FM não licenciada

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

FCC fines Amateur Radio licensee $25,000 for operating unlicensed FM station

ARRL reports in an FCC Enforcement Bureau case going back to early 2015, a
Paterson, New Jersey, Amateur Radio licensee has been penalized in the
amount of $25,000 for allegedly continuing to operate an unlicensed FM
radio station

The FCC issued a Forfeiture Order on October 30 to Winston A. Tulloch,
KC2ALN, a General class licensee. The fine followed an April 2018 Notice of
Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) issued to Tulloch for alleged
“willful and repeated violation� of Section 301 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, by operating an unlicensed FM radio station on 90.9
MHz in Paterson. Tulloch did not respond to the NAL, the FCC indicated.

“Commission action in this area is essential because unlicensed radio
stations do not broadcast Emergency Alert Service messages and therefore
create a public safety hazard for their listener,� the FCC said in the
Forfeiture Order. “Moreover, unlicensed radio stations create a danger of
interference to licensed communications and undermine the Commission’s
authority over broadcast radio operations.�
