      FCC Fine for WUFF Location Error

It pays to know where you are, as radio station WUFF in the state of 
Georgia found out recently. The Federal Communications Commission 
discovered that the actual location of the WUFF transmitting tower 
differed from the authorised coordinates by over one-third of a mile. It 
initially levied a fine of $4,000 for the oversight, but this was then 
reduced to $3,000 on reconsideration, based on the station's 
otherwise-excellent record of rule compliance. [Amateur Radio Newsline]

The FCC is very serious about knowing your exact location.  This may be 
a lesson for those of us applying for Part 5 experimental licenses to 
double check your location in your application.
