Sadly, 

Pirate broadcasting DF’ing is “low lying fruit”.

The stations are usually stationary, and when on the air, they are on long enough to DF.

Of course when states were passing laws to enforce illegal radio activity by local law enforcement, the FCC did nothing.  We reminded them of their authority and obligation. Again, they didn’t care.

Here we go again…..

For those interested in the aggressive give and take between the Democrat FCC Commissioners Wheeler, Rosenworcel and Clyburn and the two Republicans, Pai and O'Rielly here is a somewhat bad transcript of the FCC Enforcement Bureau Restructuring discussion of this morning's FCC open meeting. Note especially O'Rielly's statutory authority argument which is interesting but unfortunately, to me and others, not overly convincing. 

A lot of promises to do pirate broadcasting enforcement but nothing on a five year old New York City unlicensed jammer of Amateur, GMRS, Broadcast Auxiliary and Land Mobile Public Safety frequencies. Startling statement from Chairman Wheeler who claims that during HIS TENURE at FCC there have been some 200 pirate broadcast busts. If so, they sure have not publicized many of them.

P.S. Thanks to NAB for this transcript.
