Nounoune Lubin is hit with the fine for operating an unlicensed transmitter at 90.1 MHz in North Miami, Florida. Agents from the Miami Office say Lubin, despite acknowledging receipt of two Notices of Unlicensed Operation, apparently continued to operate an unlicensed radio station on 90.1 MHz from her residence in North Miami, Florida. Lubin requested cancellation of the proposed fine because she claims she did not, and has not ever, operated an unlicensed radio station.
The commission says Lubin?s assertion that she did not operate a station is unpersuasive. Agents observed a clearly visible coaxial cable coming in through a back window of Ms. Lubin?s residence that was connected on one end to the antenna in the backyard, and on the other end to transmitting equipment apparently located in her residence. Lubin also signed for two written NOUOs notifying her that an unlicensed radio station was operating in her residence. Assuming, arguendo, that Ms. Lubin did not technically operate the radio station equipment in her residence and was originally unaware of the nature of the equipment, once she received the notices she had the opportunity to evaluate all unknown electronic equipment in her residence and ensure that operation did not continue.
