Subject: Pirate Broadcasters Silenced
The following is an article from the December 27, 1989 issue of
Radio World magazine (a broacast trade journal):
BROOKLYN, NY--"As part of a continuing effort to shut down pirate radio
broadcasters, US marshals and FCC staff seized equipment belonging to a
pirate station here on 9 November.
The equipment, housed in Borough Park, was used to operate an
unlicensed station on 91.9 MHz. under the illegal callsign WJPT,
according to the FCC. Another Brooklyn pirate station, WHOT, was shut
down in July.
The FCC has closed in on several pirate high frequency radio stations
this year operated on 7415 kHz.: WNPR, Massapequa, NY, and WENJ, New
Brunswick, NJ.
Penalties for unlicensed radio operations include seizure of the
equipment, fines of up to $100,000 and/or one year in prison for the
operators.
