The Miami Herald reports: "The music from the pirate radio station has been so troublesome over the last month that a federal engineer who specializes in frequency transmissions has arrived in Miami to help investigators locate the signal.
''It's intermittent. Not all day, every day,'' said Kathleen Bergen, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration. ``But clear communication between air control and the pilots is a critical part of flying.''
Helping in the investigation: the Federal Communications Commission and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
It is believed to be the first such case worked by state agents in South Florida since a new law gave law enforcement broader authority to go after illegal radio stations."

Later on the article says that fDLE has arrested two south florida people on felony charges for illegal broadcasting.

The state can put them in prision and the FCC can still pursue federal criminal and civil charges.

I didn't hear anything on that. Yes that FCC can pursue the charges so those people are foodbared (F*****) for good... They cannot get ham radios or anything that has a license. They will be in Fedral prison for along time depends how long they have done the airwaves.. Sucks to be them.
