                              FORFEITURE ORDER 
                                         

Adopted: October 22, 2026                                 Released: October 22, 2026 

By the Acting Chief, Enforcement Bureau: 
 
       1.    We impose a penalty of $20,000 against Henderson Lennox Elcock (Elcock), for 
 operating an unauthorized radio station on 106.3 MHz in Brooklyn, New York.  Elcock engaged in the 
 illicit operation of an unauthorized radio station known as “Wild FM.”  Operating an unauthorized, or 
 pirate, radio station is illegal under section 511 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended 
 (Communications Act or Act),1 and undermines the primary mission of the Federal Communications 
Commission (FCC or Commission) to manage radio spectrum.  Such illegal operations can interfere with 
licensed communications, including authorized broadcasts and communications by public safety entities.  
Moreover, such illegal operations pose a danger to the public because they interfere with licensed stations 
that inform their listeners of important public safety messages, including Emergency Alert System 
transmissions that provide vital information regarding weather and other dangers to the public.2   
       2.    On January 12, 2026, the Enforcement Bureau issued a Notice of Apparent Liability 
 (NAL) for Forfeiture proposing a $20,000 forfeiture against Elcock for apparent willful and knowing 
 violations of section 511 of the Act by engaging in pirate radio broadcasting on January 30, 2025.3  
 Elcock has not filed a response to the NAL.4  We incorporate by reference herein, affirm, and adopt as 
 final all of our tentative findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth in the NAL and affirm the 
 forfeiture proposed in the NAL.5 
       3.    Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 511 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. § 511, 
and sections 0.111, 0.204, 0.311, and 1.80 of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR §§ 0.111, 0.204, 0.311, 
                          
 1 47 U.S.C. § 511. 
 2 See Amendment of Part 11 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System, Report and Order, 37 
FCC Rcd 11844, 11845, para. 4 (2022). 
 3 See Henderson Lennox Elcock, Brooklyn, New York, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, FCC 26-40, 2026 
WL 103241 (Jan. 12, 2026).  The NAL includes a more complete discussion of the facts and history of this case and 
is incorporated herein by reference.  
 4 On January 13, 2026, a copy of the NAL was sent to Elcock by first-class mail and certified mail, return receipt 
 requested.  The certified mailing was delivered, and the first-class mail was not returned. 
 5 Any entity that is a “Small Business Concern” as defined in the Small Business Act (Pub. L. 85-536, as amended) 
 may avail itself of rights set forth in that Act, including rights set forth in 15 U.S.C. § 657, “Oversight of Regulatory 
 Enforcement,” in addition to other rights set forth herein.
