WQOR Fined

From NorthEast Radio Watch ...

WQOR (750 Olyphant) operates from a seminary in Pittston, and when FCC inspectors showed up there in November 2009 and again a month later, they found a locked door and seminary staffers telling them the station was usually unoccupied. That resulted in a $10,000 Notice of Apparent Liability against licensee JMJ Radio Inc. from the FCC, and WQOR is now asking listeners for help to pay the fine

Do FCC inspectors drop in to visit those little Jesuscaster translators?
 
There's no main-studio requirement for translators, and the "Jesuscaster" full-power licenses are usually noncomms that receive main-studio waivers, which the FCC hands out like candy. One could argue that they shouldn't, but they do.
 
"WQOR is now asking listeners for help to pay the fine"

Just who would be doing the asking; the ghosts in the radio shack?
Or did 'they' suddenly hire a staff?

I got pulled over for speeding and got a fine. Who can I ask for help to pay that?

They messed up, pay the fine. The listeners shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes.
