FCC Continues to Send Out Pirate Notices Across the East Coast

Notices sent to alleged illegal operators in New Jersey and Connecticut

The Federal Communications Commission continues its efforts to rout out pirate operations on the eastern seaboard.

The FCC handed out a notice of unlicensed operation to Christian Torres at Radio Unidad in Bridgeport, Conn., for allegedly operating an illegal radio operation on frequency 100.9 MHz. After a consumer complained about an unlicensed FM station operating in the area, agents used direction-finding techniques to determine that radio signals were allegedly emanating from a commercial property at 2320 Main St. in Bridgeport.

A similar notice was sent to William Cotter, also of Bridgeport, for allegedly operating an unlicensed FM station on 104.7 MHz in this city of 146,000. Using direction-finding techniques, agents allegedly discovered that radio signals were emanating from a multi-family dwelling on Putnam Street.

Moving south to Irvington, N.J., agents sent a notice to Nnanna Okoro for a similar alleged infraction — operating an unlicensed FM station on the frequency 87.9 MHz in this northern township of 60,000. Enforcement Bureau agents confirmed by direction-finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 87.9 MHz were emanating from a property at 141 Coit St. The FCC said that Okoro was the registered agent for the owner of this property.

In each case, agents allegedly discovered that the stations were operating at a strength that exceeded the maximum permitted level of 100 microvolts per meter (μV/m) at 3 meters for non-licensed devices.

Each were warned that operating radio transmitting equipment without a valid radio station authorization is a violation of Federal law, and that an operator may be subject to monetary fines and criminal sanctions. Each individual has 10 days to respond with evidence they have FCC authority to operate.

Latest Audio Research and Technologies to Be Highlighted at AES Milan Convention

— Research Papers, Poster Sessions and Engineering Briefs will showcase the work of over 100 researchers on a variety of audio engineering topics —

New York, NY — As the cornerstone of the Audio Engineering Society’s mission to promote the science and practice of audio, each AES convention features a wide array of presentations on research topics presented by leading engineers, scientists and students in the field of audio engineering, and the AES Milan convention, coming up 23-26 May at the NH Hotel Milano Congress Centre in Milan, Italy, is no exception. Brought together by AES Milan Papers co-chairs Ville Pulkki and Sascha Spors, the Convention’s Technical Program will feature research Papers, Engineering Briefs and Poster sessions by over 100 authors.

Day one of AES Milan kicks off with a series of presentations on Loudspeakers, followed by a Poster presentation session on Transducers. Audio Quality, a hot-topic at this year’s convention, will then be delved into in two full sessions of paper presentations, followed by Loudspeakers – Part 2. The day’s papers sessions will close out with a Poster session on the topic of Applications.

Thursday’s Papers Sessions begin with a look at Spatial Audio and will run throughout the day on topics including Audio Education; Audio Coding, Analysis and Synthesis; Perception; and Measurements. Poster Sessions will also be held on the topics of Perception, Measurement and Modeling.

On day three, presentations will take a further look at the topics of Spatial Audio and Perception, as well as a session on Audio Processing and Effects. Poster Sessions will include the topics of Analysis, Synthesis, Audio Processing, Audio Education, and Audio Coding and Quality.

Day four Papers Presentations will focus on the topics of Audio Processing and Effects, and Audio Applications, with a final Poster Session on Spatial Audio.

Additional scientific research in audio technologies is presented through a series of Engineering Briefs, which offer experience- and experiment-based presentations on a variety of topics (all later made available to all AES members for free download). Taking place on the first three days of the convention, the Engineering Briefs series will include such topics as Applications and Audio Education, Signal Processing, Audio Effects, Instrumentation, Measurements, Forensics, Spatial Audio, Transducers & Psychoacoustics, and more.

“The innovations in audio technology and applications presented in this year’s Papers sessions continue the rich history of invaluable information that the AES has contributed to audio engineering over the past 70 years,” states Papers co-chair Sascha Spors. “The AES Milan Technical Program and Papers Presentations represent the core scientific basis for this year’s convention as we forge ahead in new and emerging directions in audio.”
