Clemons wants to go on legally

[Jeff Lehmann]

Being busted running a pirate, or at least being issued a notice of unlicensed operation does not prevent you from getting a LPFM. Joseph McDonough ran the 87.9 The Wave pirate in Boxford, did get a NOUO, and now has a LPFM, 94.9 WXBJ in Salisbury. He also wants a full power FM on 88.3 as well.
