Anyhoo, the very next day, a van with several antennas on it pulled up in front of my house.A dude slowly stepped out of his van and he slowly walked to my front door and he knocked on my door.I pretended I wasen't at home.He slowly walked back to his van and he drove away. cuhulin Dude, Just be glad they weren't in the neighborhood when you did your little stunt. I got a visit from the FBI in 1972 for making a portable ship to shore radio in a suitcase for somebody. He said it was for his office since he had a rental fleet and then the idiot yaks it up all over Santa Clara valley. He named me and I got the pink warning slip. The FBI guys were gorillas in $3,000 suits, and zero sense of humor. Bill Baka I got a visit from the local FCC field office (Portland, OR) in 1974. I had been running an FM pirate station for nearly a year. They asked politely if they could come in, and I let them. They looked at my broadcast studio, and asked "do you have a microphone?." I said yes, and they told me "open it, get on the air and tell your listeners you are leaving the air by order of the FCC." I did so, and they told me "Now, shut it off. AND LEAVE IT OFF!" Amazingly, they did not confiscate my transmitter, antenna, audio equipment, etc., nor even my FCC 3rd Class Radiotelephone Operator Permit with broadcast endorsement, which was pinned to the window sill above my turntables.. About 3 weeks later I got a nice letter from Gettysburg, PA telling me that if I got busted again I could get 2 years at Club Fed and/or a $20,000 fine. I stayed off the air (for a while... ) A few years later, I was running a 250 watte AM pirate right in the city of Portland.  |
