NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDNER-17-00025135
On September 20, 2017, Region One of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s or 
Commission’s) Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) dispatched Agents to investigate a complaint of an 
unlicensed FM station operating on the frequency 93.3 MHz in Hartford, Connecticut.  The 
Agents confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 93.3 MHz were 
emanating from your property on Enfield Street, Hartford, Connecticut.  The Commission’s 
records show that no license was issued for operation of a radio station on 93.3 MHz at this 
location in Hartford, Connecticut.  
Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
including 93.3 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
  The field strength of your signal on frequency 93.3 MHz was found to 
exceed the maximum permitted level of 250 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, or in violation of the Commission’s RF radiation limits, 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.

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 Commission.  Your response should be sent to the address in 
the letterhead and reference the listed case number.  Under the Privacy Act of 1974,

Rules.  This will include any information that you disclose in your reply.
