FOR SHAME

Recorded straight off a 14.275 broadcast.

I'll tell you why they issued a citation rather than a letter first which is customary, because the fcc is more concerned with it's ego and it's ability to milk the American public out of it's hard earned cash rather than investigate this incident further.

Yet another reason why the FCC should be disbanded.

Or go after the company that mfg this device. This woman -no doubt- bought this antenna amp w/o any or little radio knowledge workings.

IF the FCC ever does get its act together and begins to do what they are supposed -with the exception of harassing little old ladies- it will be a whirlwind of major court actions. Maybe this was meant as a warning to us all. But if that is the case - it only proves that they are acting incorrectly as they have been in the past.

One would have logically gone to the mfr of this item and see if other products like it has similar problems. Shame on the FCC for doing what they did. But more important, is the 'why' in their motivation is fatally flawed!

Chicken shit to give a citation, since now she can be fined in the future should she buy another one and that one breaks causing interference. Something she probably would not even know about.

The FCC Clearly over stepped themselves..
I am sure the women still is wondering what happened to her and why..

There was Absolutely no call to hassle her...
She clearly bought an antenna that to her was perfectly fine and legal....and not her fault it was not operating as so allowed by the FCC..

That is a case of BIG BROTHER gone WRONG ! !

I dont know what to say or how to respond to this its CRAZY!! Im sure the courts will relook this and seee it in a logical way.

Well the FCC is a government agency and we all have been watching what the governments been doing in alot of different things so I guess this shouldnt be a shock
