Doubtful…as long the statute remains that allows fines to be reduced to the ability to pay I don’t think it will have much or any impact. If you already can’t pay $250,000 dollars, not being able to pay $1 million won’t make much of a difference. When I interviewed Rosemary Harold, FCC enforcement chief in 2017, it seemed clear that the higher fines were intended to scare people from going on the air…(though the new fines were not in place they had recently been raised dramatically in some cases.) Also, with a new administration and a new commissioner the emphasis on pirate radio enforcement may diminish as it did during the Obama administration. In the meantime, the number of pirate stations in Brooklyn remains steady at about 26 daily. pirateradiomap.com > > Tom > w2xq.com <http://w2xq.com/> > _______________________________________________ > Swlfest mailing list > Swlfest@hard-core-dx.com > http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swlfest > > To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to > swlfest-requ...@hard-core-dx.com?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown > above. > > For more information on the Fest, visit: > > http://www.swlfest.com > http://swlfest.blogspot.com
