Pirate on 99.9 all over SLC.

Within the past few hours, a brand new pirate radio station has sprung up on 99.9 broadcasting the worst music I have heard.
Its vulgar (language wise), and obscene (song content), and on top of that, the station must be putting out around 50 watts since I heard it from my home base in Millcreek all the way to downtown.

Anyone know what this is or if there is any way I can file a complaint with the FCC. This is clearly an illegal broadcaster.

Also, the reason I figured this out was it was hammering the crap out of my super low power station on the same frequency. Usually I get out 1/4 of a mile, but not tonight.

It had to of started this evening since I went shopping around 5 and didn't hear it. 99.9 is a frequency I monitor all the time and I've never heard this one before.

Whoever it was shut it off because as of this post, its not on any more. Weird. My station is back to its normal self now.

I was on the west side of the valley today and heard nothing on 99.9 except my very low power car transmitter.

If you want to file a complaint, you can do it online at esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm?sid=d1e640&id=d1e697 Unless the pirate is caught in the act, they really won't be able to do much. And it definitely sounds like a pirate. The only legitimate broadcaster that could be heard over that wide an area is the new location for KLZX and they wouldn't be running THAT.
