Do you think Mr. Cartwright knows he's been found?
Perhaps you should mention it to him.
Sorry if I implied that he was hiding. He's a high-profile sort of guy, and that's why the local FCC resident agent, Bingh Nguyen, came calling late in 2009. The local newspaper carried a story about his wedding that was broadcast on his three-Rangemaster station, KENC. Agent Nguyen read the story, and showed up two days after the wedding to check out the station. The first NOUO was for the main transmitter, mounted on a tower next to the studio, which was also Ken's musical instrument repair business; and a second NOUO was issued some time later for a transmitter mounted on a 100-foot water tower. The town that owned the water tower also got an NOUO. Ken did not take the FCC action lying down, and got a staffer for a U.S. Senator to help him. Also, Hamilton supplied an RF choke for the ground lead, which was evaluated by the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology, laboratory division. All of this did no good, and KENC had to shut down.
After KENC went off the air, Ken continued his streaming, and he started broadcasting on a local 1000-watt class D AM station, KCKX. His streaming carried Ken's program while he was on air. But Agent Nguyen wasn't quite through with Ken yet! KCKX was soon issued an NAL for not lowering power at night. I don't know if this NAL actually had anything to do with Ken, because it was the station owner, not Ken, who was issued the NAL; but this infraction was said to have been going on for several years, and the coincidence was suspicious for that reason.
Ken had a Radioman rating in the Navy, and he is indeed a "radio-man." He had been a broadcast personality, and he is still on the air, this time on KMUZ, entertaining his audience with his down-home folksy style. He is not one of the principals of the station, but one of its high-profile volunteers.
