From InCompliance:

Pirate Radio Operator Settles with FCC

.. According to a Consent Decree issued by the FCC, Jean Marius, the pirate radio station operator, has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $10,000 to settle charges in connection with operating a radio station without a license in 2023. His broadcasts reportedly exceeded the field strength limits for operation under Part 15 of the Commission’s rules.

.. Marius did not dispute the FCC’s findings and agreed that the Consent Decree “includes a true and accurate description of the facts underlying the Enforcement Bureau’s investigation” into his illegal radio broadcasts.

I wish they published the actual readings taken of the signal with these busts like they used to. They now just say "over the part 15 limits".

@mark Iterestingly Jean Marius Is a 64 year old woman that has been involved with the station since 2002. The first citation had been a NOUO, however, it was issued to Harold Marius presumably her husband, and who the FCC dealt with directly back in 2004 (October 19 or 21?),  anyway the actual measurements would probably be in there if you wanted to dig that NOUO out.

That's what I gleamed from the following documents and all I know:

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-263484A1.pdf (2005)
