General Radio Discussion / FCC bust FM Pirate Cat Radio - Funny FCC write-up

« on: March 28, 2014, 1824 UTC »

OMG - ya gotta hand it to the FCC, to actually give ya a funny write-up when sticking you with a forfeiture.
In San Francisco there was a bust of Pirate Cat Radio operating on 87.9 MHz, by an OP named "Monkey Man".

I kid you not, this was in the FCC write-up:

Roberts also denied “‘operating’ or ‘controlling’ any ‘unlicensed radio station on 87.9 MHz’ or any
transmission of energy on any frequency.”14 By contrast, Mr. Roberts conceded that “on April 28 and 29,
2009, when agents observed [him] at the Pirate Cat Radio address, [he] was operating the board, mixers
and espresso machine.”

I know that monkeys have great dexterity --- but an espresso machine?

Welcome aboard Dace! Would suggest a good used tabletop, such as a Kenwood R600, to whet your appetite. VERY simple to use, and alot of fun. Attach a 25' piece of wire strung along below the ceiling, (or better yet, outside) and that's it...for now

Let us know what oyu get, and if need pointers. You've come to the right place!  ...RCCI
