WQMA, AM 1520 NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN! IT'S NOW DWQMA!

I don't think it is fair that I am a tax paying small station owner, I pay my FCC yearly fees, to to do right in following the rules of the FCC, and they allow somebody like Jason Konarz continue to be on the air, when WQMA, Marks, MS has had its license canceled and the calls deleted. As far as I'm concerned, he is a Pirate, and what does the FCC do, nothing!

I realize the commission has their plate’s full right now, but Konarz needs to turn that unlicensed station OFF! I've have looked over the FCC's CDBS database, and he filed for a STA back in 2007, but it was never renewed. I pulled up some of the station information in the FCC database and it's says that WQMA's license has been canceled.

Larry Fuss sold him that station in good faith, and Larry said he was ripped off. I don't know how true that is, but Mr. Fuss has a much better reputation than Konarz, so I believe Mr. Fuss.

Why is it that good broadcasters get hit, and folks like Mr. Konarz, continues on like he has a free pass to do what he wants. It does not make sense to me.


*NOTE: WQMA, AM 1500 is a licensed station, in Quittman, and owned by the great Ira Littman.
 
Umm... WQMS in licensed to Quitman. WQMA was/is licensed to Marks, Mississippi, which is nowhere near Quitman.
 
Could Paul Walker Jr.'s numerous posts on this website about the goings on at WQMA have tipped off the FCC? I remember him saying that they sometimes stayed on the air after sunset if they had some programming they didn't want to interupt. The station was fined shortly afterword. I once DX'ed the station while driving through Jackson well after sunset several years ago.
