NOUO stands for Notice Of Unlicensed Operation,. If you ever receive one of these as a Part 15 broadcaster, it will be because your install or power input is incorrect.. In other words, if you ever get one, it's because you were not following the rules..
NOUO stands for Notice Of Unlicensed Operation,. If you ever receive one of these as a Part 15 broadcaster, it will be because your install or power input is incorrect.. In other words, if you ever get one, it's because you were not following the rules..
Most NOUOs include the following information..
The Commission's records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station on [frequency] at this location..
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain transmitters using or operating at a power level that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's rules,.. ..the maximum permitted level of 15.0 uV/m at 30 meters established in Section 15.209(a) of the Rules (See 47 C.F.R. S15.209(a). Or the alternative method may be used; Section 15.219(b) of the Rules states "The total length of the transmission line, antenna, and ground lead (if used) shall not exceed 3 meters."
You can access records of everyone of them going back 10 years at the FCC website: http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/ ( I only went back looking three years )

There have been only 7 instances of the FCC shutting down supposed Part 15 AM broadcasters in the past 3 years [from Jan 1, 2011 to Jan. 17 2014]... Compare this to the estimate of 1,000's of FM broadcasters receiving NOUO's in the same time frame.
[[EDIT Jan. 1, 2018: The list below has been updated, with 3 more NOUO's which had occurred bringing it to a total of 10* NOUOs in the last 7 years]]
*See additional notes to the to the following NOUOs to explain the "total of 10
*See additional notes to the to the following NOUOs to explain the "total of 10
Basically, with Part 15 AM, there are only two factors you must adhere to:
1. Your antenna system can not exceed ten foot..
You can mount your transmitter with it's ten foot whip 50 foot in the air if you wanted too, and you'd be legal, but the problem is you can't attach a ground wire to your transmiitter, because that ground wire would in effect extend your antenna that additional 50 foot!
2. Your power input can not exceed 100mw
Below are shown every NOUO issued (in the last 3 years) to an AM broadcaster for being non-compliant with Part 15 rules and regulations. Every one of them was due to excessive antenna system.. Avoid making the same mistake and you'll be fine

On October 26, 2016, agents from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 1700 kHz were emanating from your building located at 272 Kingston Avenue, Brooklyn, New York... The Commissions' rules permit operation on any frequency between 525 kHz and 1705 kHz with a transmitter whose input power of the final RF stage of the transmitter does not exceed 100 mW. See Section 15.209.. If the transmitter does not comply with this requirement then the field strength of the signal on frequency 1700 kHz may not exceeded the 14.1uV/m at 30 meters. See Section 15.209 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 15.209. The station apparently did not comply with either of these requirements and thus is operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301.

???? - It's curious to note that in the above NOUO, there was no mention made of 15.219, which of course has no field strength limitations, and is a proper alternative method of transmitting Part 15 AM. Therefore, legally the above was clearly an improper enforcement since it lacked any presentation of evidence in the report showing 15.219 was also in violation.

On January 30, 2012, agents from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 1680 kHz were emanating from the property at 1370 Brea Blvd., Suite 205, Fullerton, CA 92835. On February 29, 2012, the agents re-visited the above address and confirmed that the signals were still emanating from that location.
The field strength of the signal on frequency 1680 kHz was measured at 17,900 microvolts per meter (uV/m) at 60 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 14.3 uV/m 24000/1680) at 30 meters established in Section 15.209(a) of the Rules (see 47 C.F.R. S: 15.209(a)).
During their investigation on February 29, 2012, the agents determined that the ground lead was connected to a cable that ran down the length of the antenna tower, thereby, increasing the total length of the antenna, transmission line, and ground lead well beyond 3 meters. This installation violated Section 15.219(b) of the Rules. During that inspection, the agents observed that the ground lead at a point close to the street level had been cut, leaving the line at its original length, but not physically connected to the ground. This configuration will also violate Section 15.219(b) of the Rules as the total length of the antenna,transmission line, and the lead, attached to the transmitter, exceeded 3 meters.

On May 16, 2011, an agent from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques that (1) radio signals on frequency 1620 kHz were emanating from 1146 Rice Street in St. Paul and (2) radio signals on frequency 1630 kHz were emanating from 399 East Maryland Avenue in St. Paul. .... The owners of the properties where these stations are located reported to the agent that they granted you permission to install transmitters at those locations.
The field strength of the signal on frequency 1620 kHz (1146 Rice Street) was measured at 470 microvolts per meter (uV/m ) at 1243 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 14.8 uV/m (24,000/1620) at 30 meters established in section 15.209(a) of the Rules (See 47 C.F.R. S:15.209(a)). Similarly, the field strength of the signal on 1630 kHz (399 East Maryland Avenue) was measured at 450 uV/m at 599 meters, which also exceeded the maximum permitted level of 14.7 uV/m at 30 meters.
During the inspection on May 16, 2011, the agent observed that the approximate length of the antenna, transmission line and the ground lead at 1146 Rice Street was approximately 26 meters.
Similarly, the ground lead at 399 East Maryland Avenue exceeded approximately 3 meters in length. These installations violated section 15.219(b) of the Rules.
===================================================
NOTES: The two above violations involved what sounds to be clusters of transmitters on multiple roofs. Both (c) & (d) consist of three violations within 24 hours, in the same town and close proximity to each other, which indicates them to be a single group entity.. So for this reason these could be considered as just one NOUO, not two.

===================================================
NOTES: Casa Grande and Arizona city are only about 10 miles apart..add the facts that they both broadcast on the same frequency, and were both cited on the same day, one could easily conclude that they were also just one group working together to cover a larger area.. So again, these two can also be considered in essence a single NOUO.

EDIT: February 11, 2018 Addum..
I've never seen the following before!..
Evidently the Low Power Radio Blog had posted a similar study from what turned out to be from 2002-2010. The following link provides a brief breakdown of the citation causes

I have took his findings and organized them in order, adding the dates and years of the agents visits so I could get a better idea of what I was looking at:

You'll notice that the Kozodoy NOUO is for operation on 1710Khz. 47 CFR Part 15.219 applies to operation between 510khz and 1705khz. So this NOUO falls outside the accommodations afforded by Part 15.219.
ReplyDeleteI notice a lot of "Part 15" operators go for 1710Khz, I guess to avoid interference, but they place themselves under a much more restrictive rule by doing so.
Good point, that didn't even occur to me at the time.
ReplyDeleteAlthough several of the citations listed in this thread had broadcasted on 1710, I wouldn't go so far to say a lot of part15 broadcasters go for 1710.. I get the impression that most of those receiving NOUOs above were really just pirates attempting to operate under the guise of part 15. I don't know of many, if any of the part 15 broadcasters on the hobbybroadcaster.com, part15.us, or the alpb.com forums who choose to utilize 1710 for their broadcasts, because as you point out it is a self defeating option.
Thanks for your input. I plan to compile another list of AM NOUOs spanning from Jan. 2014 to the present sometime in the near future.. though I don't think there's been that many of them since.
