Re: EB-11-GB-0016
Dear Mr. (name withheld):
The Federal Communications Commission has previously notified you by
letter dated March 7, 2011 that it has received complaints that a heating
system currently being used at your residence may be causing harmful radio
interference to an operator in the Amateur Radio Service. The complainant
is:
(Name withheld)
(Address withheld)
(Address withheld)
The complainant has attempted unsuccessfully to resolve this problem and
as a result the matter has been referred to our office. The Commission
prefers that those responsible for the proper operation of equipment
assume their responsibilities fairly. This means that you should resolve
the interference caused by the device and make necessary corrections
within a reasonable time. The March 7, 2011, letter specifically stated,
however, that if it became necessary for the Commission to facilitate a
resolution, the Commission might investigate possible rule violations and
address appropriate remedies, including monetary forfeitures.
According to (name withhtle), you have not contacted him regarding the
interference nor has the interference been rectified. Lack of response to
the Commission's letter is not acceptable. In order to avoid enforcement
action on this matter, you have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt
of this letter to respond to this office at the following address: 1270
Fairfield Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325. The response must contain a
statement of the specific action(s) taken to eliminate the source(s) of
(name withheld) radio interference. If you have any questions about this
matter, please contact me at 717-338-2577.
Sincerely,
Laura L. Smith
Special Counsel
