PIRATE 106.5 BLEEDING INTO 106.7
- Thread starter gregg75
- Start date
Anyone complain to the FCC Enforcement Bureau or let engineering (assuming the Cloud Company hasn't sent them all walking) and let them know?
About 6 years ago, one of those island boys setup up a fairly high powered bootleg 20 watter on South Cobb Drive on top of a small office building across from the old Cobb center mall. It was tearing up Kiss 104 from as far south as Windy Hill road (and this was on a good solid Pioneer SuperTuner D), splattering all the way up from 103.7. The carrier was way overmodulated, don't know how anyone could stand to listen to it.
Remember calling the FOR RENT sign on the building. The building owner actually came out. He claimed to have NO IDEA the station was illegal. He called the tenant, a man who identified himself as "LOCO" on his cell. LOCO claimed to be in Philly setting up another bootleg FM. LOCO claimed he was "getting an LPFM license" (yeah right). I told LOCO that his bootlegger was tearing up a licensed commercial station, that Cox wouldn't take too kindly to their licensed facility getting jammed, and he should shut it off, and hire a qualified engineer to properly engineer his signal as it sounded like something that comes out of a dog's butt.
He then asked to speak to his landlord. The landlord actually took me and my friend into this station. What he had was a small studio, a few CD players and computer, some POS PA mixer, and a Chinese FM transmitter. I personally pulled the plug.
A few days later it was back. I emailed Kiss 104 and CC'ed the FCC regional office in Duluth. About 2 weeks later the signal was gone, and so was the 20 foot pole with the ground plane antenna that was on the building.
You do the math.
