Sid pointed out...

"Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S 301.
   The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
   transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation
that
   complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's
   rules, 47 C.F.R. SS  15.1 et seq....the field strength of (your) signal
on
   frequency 106.1MHz was measured at 269,000 microvolts per meter (uV/m) at
   47 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 uV/m at 3
   meters for non-licensed devices."

They forgot the part:

UNLESS YOU ARE SPONSORED BY A U.S. SENATOR...Where is Ted Kennedy when you
need him?
