Kinda down at the moment, our college radio station got busted by the FCC. Here a list of the stuff that was hauled off: NRG PLL-PRO 3 20W TRANSMITTER NRG 220 WATT RF LINEAR AMPLIFIER NRG PRO III STEREO CODER NRG PRO III STEREO LIMITER COMPRESSOR DAIWA CN-101L SWR+POWER METER COMET CFM-95SL 5/8 WAVE ANTENNA 50 FEET OF LMR 400 COAX KENWOOD R-1000 SW RECEIVER (my fathers old short-wave radio?) That stuff isn't type-accepted. You should not be using it on the air. The really weird part is that we WERE NOT transmitting at the time of the raid. One of the agents tolds us that they traced us through a purchase order from Broadcast-Warehouse! It's true that we bought a 150w amp from broadcastwarehouse.com a few weeks ago. How did the FCC know about that? The same way that if you bought an amp from HRO and didn't submit the license along with it. Anyways, we will rebuild the station and continue to fight the globle interests of the MEGA-MACHINE. DEATH TO THE MEGA-MACHINE! I'm not sure what the MEGA-MACHINE is, but if you're running non-type-accepted gear that isn't custom-made, you're going to get a citation. It's good to see that FCC at least enforcing _some_ technical standards these days, since it's been a long time since they've paid much attention. Bring back annual proof of performance measurements and hourly logs, that's what I'd suggest... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
