In fact, they were extremely angry about the incident and took away an FM station license from this individual. They let him keep his 710 kHz. AM daytime license, but nevertheless, it was a stern measure to arouse attention and make an example out of this individual. I personally believe that a telephone call was made to the federal judge that heard the appeal from the FCC legal team, to slam the individual hard and send out a message that broadcasting slightly outside the United States territorial borders without a license would NOT be tolerated. It always seems to boil down to "regulation by treaty", and NARBA, I believe was an excuse for the sanction. In any event, hobbyists who love to broadcast and have a hard time getting spectrum, or do not have the capital to buy licenses will not have to wait very long before all the glitz, glamor, and money associated with commercial broadcasting tanks. It almost always comes up; "Follow the Money"! This incident occurred back in the 1980′s and the FCC was not amused.
