Pirate stations getting hit

[Captain Kilowatt]

There's either one of two things happening here in my opinion:

1) she really is not guilty and is being railroaded

or

2) she's guilty as sin and the FCC decided to play along and see what hoops they could get her to jump thru...

I'll take what's behind door number two.

I would hope that the FCC field agents would not be playing along with someone to make them jump through hoops. That sounds less than professional.

I would agree with your intuition. Apparently, there's quite a bit more going on here than you might suspect at first. Joni K. Craig is the executive director of The Foundation for Change, which styles itself as a grassroots activist organization in San Diego. On their website, Foundation4change laments the fact that there is very little alternative radio worth listening to in the San Diego/TJ area. My best guess is that the mysterious transmitter in Ms. Craig's garage for which she didn't feel responsible was an attempt to correct that deficiency.
