Description

In this eye-opening video, we dive deep into the latest FCC Notice of Violation issued on September 29, 2025. Discover how FCC agents busted unauthorized one-way broadcasts on 7.200 MHz from a Connecticut residence, where faked conversations with a bogus callsign were used. Plus, the shocking denial of station inspection that sealed the deal! We break down the key rule violations under 47 CFR § 97.113(b) and § 97.103(c), what it means for ham radio enthusiasts, and the potential penalties looming. Is this a wake-up call for all operators to stick to two-way comms only? Watch to find out and stay compliant!
