Carlton Lewis vs the FCC
 

On May 14, 2013, an agent from the Enforcement Bureau
Dallas Office, used direction finding techniques to determine that strong signals on 27.1850 MHz (CB Channel 19) were emanating from Mr. Lewis’ residence in Enid, Oklahoma. The agent observed an antenna mounted on the roof of the residence and traced a coaxial cable from the antenna into the residence. The agent knocked on the door of Mr. Lewis’ residence but no one answered the door for over 30 minutes. A person eventually answered the door and asserted that Mr. Lewis was not at home, however, after a few minutes, Mr. Lewis appeared. Mr. Lewis showed the agent his CB transmitter, which was warm to the touch. The agent observed that no coaxial cables were connected to the CB transmitter. The agent also observed the coaxial cable coming into the residence and traced it to a linear amplifier hidden behind a sofa. The linear amplifier was also warm to the touch. Mr. Lewis did not respond when asked whether he used the linear amplifier.

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL), we find that
Carlton Lewis, a Citizens Band (CB) radio operator in Enid, Oklahoma,
apparently willfully violated Section 301 of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended (Act), and Section 95.411 of the Commission's rules
(Rules),^ by operating a radio transmitter without the requisite
Commission authorization from his residence. We conclude that Mr. Lewis is
apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of fifteen thousand
dollars ($15,000).
