A Field Guide to FCC Thugs
Like most government agencies, the FCC has agents who carry out its misguided
policies, which have been designed at the behest of the rich. The FCC continues
its harassment of micropower operators and thus infringes on our free speech
rights. With this page we hope to turn the tables a bit and outline who's
who in the FCC Enforcement Division. After all, it is the FCC which is stealing
radio equipment from people and breaking down doors in the wee hours of
the morning.
We need your help to compile this page. If your station is threatened by
FCC goons, get their names and a picture if you can. Send the information
to us and we'll post it here.
