This fine goes to Lubbock Aero for operating an illegal radio station on frequency 123.300MHz in Lubbock. Lubbock Aero provides various services (including charter services, aircraft maintenance, and sales) to private and civil aviation aircraft and operators at the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport. The company did not deny it operated the station but asked the commission to cancel the fine, which it did not.
In its response to the commission, Lubbock Aero admitted that it operated radio communications over frequency 123.300 MHz ?on numerous dates? since January 1, 2008, as part of its business and aircraft support operations, and that this frequency was associated with Lubbock Aero in its advertisements and publications. The commission said not good enough, illegal is illegal, and refused to cancel the fine of $10K. Read the entire FCC filing HERE
