    <p>It does seem the most stubborn bunch get busted. They get a nice

    <p>I saw a beat up van in traffic in my neighborhood here in Central
      Florida. It caught my eye for all the various stickers on it. So I
      google it and it is owned by a Haitian businessman in south
      Florida who was busted repeatedly for running a quasi commercial
      pirate station.  What he was doing up here I have no idea,
      probably there is another illegal station here. I need to tune in.<br>

    <p>When I lived in Miami I had a Haitian guy calling me all the time
      wanting to build a legal LPFM station near the Miami Airport. I
      did a pro bono study for him and found only a low power slot in
      Homestead ideal for Mexican demographic, but not in right place
      for the Haitians. Still he called all the time, somebody told him
      I could work magic or something. Nice, but no.<br>

                        many people who set up links might not implement

                        users will be able to hear all local users in
                        the coverage area who might be using low power
