                   CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

   March 14, 2011

   Mr. Timothy Carman

   (Address withheld)

   (Address withheld)

   Re:  WARNING FOR UNLICENSED RADIO OPERATION

   EB-11-GB-0019

   Dear Mr. Carman:

   It has come to the attention of the Federal Communications Commission that
   at multiple times in the last several months, members of your family have
   made radio transmissions in the amateur bands, for which a license is
   required. In particular, it has been reported that your wife, Tammy
   Carman, has been heard repeatedly using your station while you are out
   working on your farm. Commission records indicate that you are the only
   member of the Carman family listed at the address above who has an amateur
   license.

   Operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid FCC
   authorization is a violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of
   1934, as amended, and may subject the responsible parties to substantial
   monetary forfeitures, in rem arrest action against the offending radio
   equipment, and criminal sanctions including imprisonment. Because
   unlicensed operation creates a danger of interference to important radio
   communications services and may subject the operator to severe penalties,
   this warning emphasizes the importance of complying strictly with these
   legal requirements.

   ANY UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST CEASE IMMEDIATELY.

   You have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of this warning to respond
   to this office. The response must contain a statement of the specific
   action(s) taken to come into compliance with the Commission's rules. You
   are directed to support your response with a signed and dated affidavit or
   declaration under penalty of perjury, verifying the truth and accuracy of
   the information submitted in your response. Your response should be sent
   to: 1270 Fairfield Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325 and reference the listed
   case number.

   In an inquiry of this type we are required to notify you that under the
   Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. S: 552a(e)(3), the Commission's staff will
   use all relevant information before it, including information you disclose
   in your reply, to determine what, if any, enforcement action is warranted
   in this matter.

   You may contact me at 717-338-2577 should you wish to discuss this matter.

   Sincerely,

   Laura L. Smith

   Special Counsel

   Enforcement Bureau

   Cc: Detroit Field Office

   Northeast Regional Director

   47 U.S.C. S: 301.
