NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-FIELDSCR-15-00019330
Document Number:  W201532600001
On June 8 and June 11, 2015, agents from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques 
that radio signals on frequency 107.1 MHz were emanating from 1251 NW 54
th
St., Miami, 
Florida 33142.  On May 16, 2012, you admitted to agents from this office you were the operator 
of an unlicensed radio station on 98.1 MHz at the same location and voluntarily relinquished the 
transmitter.  This location is also the registered address for several businesses operated by you.  
The Commission's records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station 
on 107.1 MHz or any other frequency at this location in Miami, Florida.  
Radio stations 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 C.F.R. §§ 15.1 
et seq.  On June 8 and June 11, 2015, the field strength of the signal on frequency 107.1 MHz 
exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 microvolts per meter (µV/m) at 3 meters for non-
licensed devices.  Thus, this station was 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).  Be advised that this warning does not 
preclude this office from pursuing additional sanctions based upon our investigation of this 
incident.
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION 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 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.
