>>>Well of course I was being a bit sarcastic...:) He did  say he reported 
it to the cops. "Hello, I run a radio station not licensed for  broadcasting 
by the FCC and someone cut my cable..." Would be right up there  with 
"officer, someone stole my marijuana plants" :)

Precisely my  point. He is definitely not licensed. I will say I wasn't 
aware LPFMs aren't  licensed under 92 MHz--but indeed
that makes sense. In my travels around  New England there have been LPFMs 
above 92 in places like
Bellows Falls,  VT; Londonderry, NH; various rest areas in Vermont, etc. So 
maybe I was being  kind of rhetorical and sarcastic,
but if he has some kind of legit license,  I hope he can show it to us. 
(Indeed, the FCC in their NAL letters do say that  if
the broadcaster does have some kind of authority to broadcast on that  
frequency, they should show evidence of it.)<<<<
 
I don't really care  whether he has a license or not. The local police  
aren't the FCC nor do they have the authority to do anything about it. 
 
I guess that makes it alright to vandalize someone's home because he didn't 
 have a license. It is a good thing it happened in Massachusetts or the  
outcome  may have been different. 
 
If I were that guy I would get a good communications attorney and go the  
radio Goldfield route. According to my communications attorney he  told me 
that it would cost around 20+K. 
 
It is doubtful that this station is interfering with anyone 87.9 isn't  
doing anything right now and the increased range is probably due to the  fact 
that  there is no other station on the frequency.  
 
Let's not forget there are many pirates in Boston DO interfere with  
commercial stations and what exactly is the FCC doing about it? My take on it is  
if there are others doing it and the FCC looks the other way what is the 
problem  with that?  
 
I am as pro-license as anyone on this list.  I have spent my entire  career 
in radio, TV, and network TV and I hold ALL of the commercial  licenses. 
Where is the FCC and enforcement here?  
 
If any pirate has an audience and a commercial  or NCE station claims  that 
they are "stealing" their audience, as if the audience is obligated to  
listen to a specific station,  you would think that they would get the  message 
but they don't.
 
What station in Boston, or the suburbs, serves the 55+ year old  demo the 
media dead people?  "Yeah, but they don't have a  license".
