KEIF-LP fined for underwriting infractions, and antenna and power issues

Radio Business Report/Television Business Report - Voice of the Broadcasting Industry
The article in RBR.com spells out what the FCC found to be violation of the guidelines of allowable underwriting.
Among the issues were the use of rate cards and language in the materials used to promote the spots aired by the station.
The credits aired by KEIF-LP may have been in violation of the guidelines. The ruling seems to reach beyond announcements aired by citing language used off air to promote the advantages of airing credits on KEIF. Is the FCC trying to regulate how public radio's development professionals recruit underwriters?
