I know the engineer who set it up. The info you cite must be from an earlier location. They're currently using a genuine high gain Dominator antenna, https://fmbroadcastantenna.com/ Combined with the height -- 50 feet atop a an apartment building located at one of the highest elevations in the city -- their ERP is roughly 1 kW and can be heard throughout the city.

It only covered a small percentage of the Austin market. As I said, hardly Caroline and Veronica pirate category.
 
THe filings would have been fraudulent only if they were filed with an intent to mislead the commission.

Which was your intent, Pirate Joe.

We have now abandoned that name and let is dissolve.

Probably a good idea. Fraud is a crime, even in Texas. And you've already had a small sample of prison.
 
David, there's one other thing I forgot to mention. When it is a church that conducts a unlicensed broadcast, the FCC has a different set of rules the agency must follow -- thanks to a ruling almost 20 years ago. They can't just run in and seize equipment belonging to a religious organization. They have to first seek a restraining order, which requires notice, opportunity to respond, and a court hearing. http://articles.philly.com/1999-09-11/news/25489497_1_radio-stations-fcc-fm

So anyone thinking of running a pirate station needs to first send away for one of those
mail order divinity degrees, and declare their place a church.
 
Perjury is also a crime, Swearing on FCC documents that a station is on the air when it is not is perjury.

Perhaps you should tell that to Steve Lee. He monitored your pirate station. So did many others. And you admitted to radio piracy.

The prison mentality may work in prison, but not in the real world, Pirate Joe.

Except you are not a church, and your Pirate JoeFM scam isn't religious. But, once again, convicted felons tend to evade responsibility and accountability.

Of course, ministers generally dress in black. But we all know orange is the new black.
 
I admitted to operating pursuant to the authority of the KJIB-LP license, and provided him with a copy of same, along with a copy of an application to modify operation on channel 6 due to predicted interference that operation on channel 5 would have to channel 4. His sole comment was that the license was for a different location in Clear Lake. I offered to play him the recording of the licensee's attorney giving me authorization to put KVDO and KJIB on the air at my own cost until the end of analog broadcasting, and promising to handle all the modification paperwork to operate from our church. Mr. Lee said that wouldn't be necessary. FCC officials in Washington have already

IF it's not written on paper and filed with the commission on paper or electronically, it doesn't count! Voice recordings don't!! An attorney does not have the authority to authorize a broadcast station. Only the FCC does.
What some pirates will do to justify their illegal operation...... SMH
 
(Sad laugh) Typically, the ministers who dress in black are those getting too friendly with alter boys...

Are you looking for a plea bargain on that, too?

He didn't mention that the license you cited had been cancelled, and you weren't the licensee? I'm surprised.

You still haven't produced a copy of a local management agreement signed by Roy Henderson. And even if you could, the fact that the KJIB-LP license has been returned for cancellation makes all of this a moot point anyway, doesn't it?
 
To all of you who are not part of the hater crowd,

I don't hate you, Joe. I just expect you to operate within the confines of the law, and you obviously have no intention of doing so. I expect Steve Lee to take appropriate action against your pirate radio station on 87.9 MHz, and I'm unsure whether that has taken place. According to you, it hasn't. But then again, you're a compulsive liar.

KJIB-LP has been cancelled. The licensee returned it to the Commission for cancellation. You are not the licensee.

and provided him with a copy of same, along with a copy of an application to modify operation on channel 6 due to predicted interference that operation on channel 5 would have to channel 4.

How can you submit an application for modification of a license that is no longer valid, will not be reinstated, and for which you are not the licensee? Did Mr. Lee ask you this? Since you recorded the entire conversation, that should be easy to prove.
 
I agree. Unfortunately, there are a lot of nutcases out there that believe the nonsense.

Obviously you've dealt with a number of nutcases, Pirate Joe, because you've fed them a lot of nonsense.

Amazing how somebody who claims that he's broke can afford to go to Washington DC more than once. Just because you filed paperwork doesn't mean that it's going to get passed and does it make you legal

More than that, why would someone travel to DC to file a sure-to-be-dismissed application that has no requirement to be filed in person?
 
For a waiver of the obsolete rule limiting use of 87.9 to LPFMs.

Operating as a pirate broadcaster is sure not to lend credibility to your waiver request. As a pirate, you clearly don't qualify as an LPFM licensee. Ditto for your "church."
 
Ahoy Commissioners - Pirate Joe goes to Washington

Purportedly, Barney Joe has travelled to Washington (again). Supposedly to seek a waiver that will allow him to operate legally on FM Channel 200, since he has already proven he can operate illegally on that frequency.

My question is, why would an acknowledged pirate go straight to the very agency whose rules he is violating? That would make as much sense as a convicted arsonist asking for court approval to set fire to City Hall.

And I thought Joe was terminal and destitute. Who is funding all of these junkets? I remember not too long ago, he drove from Texas to Michigan to stalk a certain broadcaster he is apparently obsessed with.

... and, even, after a while watching someone put lipstick on a pig gets boring.
 
(1) Because there is someone -- perhaps one of Robertsez' friends -- in the Audio Division that kept thwarting requests to reinstate our 2013 LPFM application and permit filing it

Sorry, Joe, but the LPFM filing window has come and gone, and your motion is out of order. You should have filed properly when you had the chance. The rules aren't going to be bent because you didn't know how to file a technically-correct application in a timely manner. And this gives you no right or authority to thumb your nose at the Commission and light up 87.9 anyway.

This whole situation is beyond bizarre. You claimed you were the Houston radio police. You claimed to be on a first-name basis with Steve Lee, and know some people in Washington. Then, all of a sudden, you have become just as bad and corrupt as the people you filed informal complaints against. What caused you to turn back to your criminal ways, Joe?
