General Radio Discussion / Last FCC Bust of a SW Pirate?
« on: March 12, 2024, 0045 UTC »
It seems like every week in the FCC Daily Digest I read about one or several FM pirates in the US getting busted.  Anyone know the last time a shortwave pirate got busted in the US?  Interestingly, the PIRATE act, which was passed in 2020 and the FCC has been using to levy exorbitant (and arguably unrealistic) fines against operators and landlords defines pirate operation within only the AM and FM broadcast bands, and not shortwave.
