No, most of these broadcast enforcement actions are driven by interference reported by licensed broadcasters.

I don't know (offhand) who reported interference for the Portland station, but they were running an analog FM signal over the digital signal of a licensed independent public broadcaster. There were two signals on the bandwidth between 90.5-90.6 MHz. If a pirate station operates in the same town on the same frequency, it's likely a complaint would generate from that.
