This is not a new topic for those that frequent the CBI email list(s) or conferences and there are some things student stations can do to avoid being fined.  Learn more by asking questions on the CBI email list(s) .  Of course our biggest event of the year, the fall conference will provide answers to your questions on not only this topic, but how to “pass” an FCC inspection, EAS changes and so much more!  With well over 80 sessions and events over 3 days, you will have a hard time choosing what sessions to attend regardless of whether or not your station is licensed by the FCC.
