You summed it up well, billyg. The last thing on file with the FCC for 1060 is an STA that apparently expired quite some time ago. That was after Russell filed for a renewal which, of course, was even more ridiculous. How do you renew the license for a station with deleted call letters that hadn't been on the air?
Yes, I've been listening and the signal is pretty good, with some surprisingly good processing whenever I've happened to catch it. Apparently Russell doesn't care but do the people who've signed onto this deal understand that's it's an illegal operation?
I think they do, they're only using a "KOFY Gilmer" ID and have a P.O. box for their address. KOFY could be operating out of someones house for all I know, but the audio sounds too good to be a pirate.
Maybe with the Obama administration turnover the FCC is giving dark or minority stations a second chance to survive? Or they have cut the FCC budget so much that there's no gas money to bring an official to East Texas? (They did let KZEY run at 92 watts for over a year..).
I dont think that the FCC cares bout radio at all... They're too worried bout the Martha Stewarts of the country and white collar crime.
