The FCC is a "Paper Tiger" ever since the gutted the Field Operations
Staff back in the Clinton/Gore Reinvention of Government days. They
don't have enough Field Staff to investigate the Public Safety
Interference complaints let alone any Ham or Consumer complaints.
If you make an absolute fool of yourself, maybe in ten years they might
get around to you, but other than that, it isn't gong to happen.
The FCC has to much Bandwidth to sell, to be worried about any microFM
Transmitters......

If you really believe that the FCC is a "paper tiger," I suggest
you keep an eye on this link.

And that's just on the amateur radio side. Granted, they've done a
crappy job in that they've been pandering to the nascent BPL industry,
but keep in mind that Michael Powell has resigned, and is on his way
out. Once he goes, something good may actually happen (for a change).

Keep the peace(es).

"Paper" tiger = "paper" bites. They can be painful. A big bite via paper -
called a citation. That "tiger" could take a big ole bite out the paper - in
your wallet.

As the man said, they may have dropped the ball on the BPL, but they've been
sticking it to quite a few - with fines. I sure wouldn't be so quick to sell
them as being dead when it comes to enforcement.
