FCC cracking down on pirates

F

FLjack2

Tom Taylor says it's happening in all the hotbeds where pirates are found. Here in South Florida, he says the FCC has found 99.5, 100.3 and 106.3 in Miami; 90.1 in Sunrise and 100.9 in West Palm Beach. I know there is a 97.7 somewhere in Fort Lauderdale because sometimes WRMF has serious reception issues.

Anyone else hear local pirates?
 
There is a simple solution to the pirate problem -- if one of the big operators launched a full-power Haitian Creole station on FM 90 percent of them would go away.
 
It doesn't matter here. IMO, FCC confiscates the equipment & a week later or so, they resume. Somehow 96.1 constantly either avoids these raids OR rebounds like the moles in Whack-a-Mole.

I am sure that DXers are not whom the FCC looks out for, but as one myself, I wish the FCC were on pirate-alert 24/7.

BTW I think Ft. Lauderdale is the hottest of pirate hotbeds. You can scan FM and hear about a dozen operating at the same time.
