The FCC Card on the Studio Wall
My FCC card had to be on the wall. I was starting out in radio in the early 1980s, and my stations were serious about my Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit. No card meant no work. An unposted card meant no work too. I still have mine somewhere, though my FCC registration does not appear online as of November 2026. That gap has an explanation. So does the rule that made a piece of federal paper part of a DJ’s working life. The microphone was only part of the job.
