Don't get me wrong here - I wouldn't run a station that way, nor would I 
work for anyone who would.

My point is just that the penalty here is trivial in comparison to the 
offense. If the FCC's writing $7,000 NALs for late renewal filings, 
$10,000 for missing issues lists in public files and $325,000 for 
wardrobe malfunctions, letting this guy walk away for just $4,000 sends 
the message that it's an awfully minor misdeed to run a kilowatt instead 
of 5 watts for years at a time.

Me, I'd pull the guy's license if I ran the Commission...
