Summary
In this video, we break down the latest FCC enforcement action against an Illinois CB radio operator cited for "broadcasting" on Channel 19. Robert Delgado of Chicago Ridge, IL, received a Notice of Unlicensed Operation from the FCC's Chicago office after agents confirmed his station was transmitting one-way broadcasts, playing music, and causing harmful interference to other CB users on 27.185 MHz last summer (August 2025). This isn't his first run-in with the FCC—he was previously cited eight years ago for unlicensed operation on amateur radio frequencies. The article also touches on a troubling history from over two decades ago involving serious criminal charges tied to CB radio misuse.
