Globe says Touch 106 FM is "a one time pirate station"?!?!?

[Dave Doherty]

The NOL is available in PDF form at:

http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-280558A1.pdf

It identifies the complainant as "...the Southern New England Society of
Broadcast Engineers."  See paragraph 2.

As for the fine, see

106.1 is not available anywhere near Boston for LPFM use.

I don't believe that is the case. The FCC is very much aware of this
station. I don't know if it was Greater Media/WROR that turned them in or
what, but on 1/27/07, they received a Notice of Unlicensed Operation:

1/29/08, they were fined $17,000

I highly doubt that fine was ever paid.
