Re: [IRCA] FCC Goes After California TIS

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Charles,

It may be that someone complained about QRM from a TIS/HAR and the
message got from an NAB member to the FCC. The NAB is famous for
lighting a fire under the FCC and getting them to act on things
including pirates. As one FCC offical told me quite a few years back in
Portland that they do not act on a pirate, even if they know about it
generally.They act on complaints. So if you operated a pirate and no one
complained then you could operate it forever I guess. Pirates are common
in Hawaii Chuck Boehnke told me. Few ever complain about them unless
they QRM a licensed station.

73,

Patrick
