"Everything free in America!"

In Boston a couple years ago Datz Hitz 99.7 was shut down, not just for interfering with classical station WCRB 99.5, but also Logan Airport aircraft radio. The FCC issues "notices of illegal operation" but doesn't do many shutdowns or raids. Maybe they need to get fed marshals and they're too busy with other stuff.One longtime Boston pirate, Touch 106.1, hasn't been touched other than with a $17,000 fine that hasn't been paid. The owner of the station is one of many people in Boston currently running for mayor.

Driving through Boston last night, I found many different AM and FM pirates--poor quality (overmodulation), foreign language, R&B, Caribbean, etc.

A 60-ft antenna? Obviously they weren’t just broadcasting to people in the building.
