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.
