                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-10-PA-0205

   Document Number: W201032400010

   The Commission received a complaint alleging that the operation of your
   Citizens Band ("CB") radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is causing
   harmful interference to home electronic and entertainment equipment
   including televisions and telephones. As described below, an agent from
   the Enforcement Bureau's Philadelphia Office found during an investigation
   that you were operating your CB station at your residence in Pittsburgh,
   Pennsylvania in a manner that voided your authorization to operate.

   Section 95.411(a) and (b) of the Rules provides that CB operators shall
   not attach to their CB stations external radio frequency power amplifiers
   ("linear amplifiers") or any other devices which are capable of amplifying
   a CB station's signal and that operators will be presumed to have used a
   linear amplifier if the linear amplifier is in the operator's possession
   or on the operator's premises. Section 95.411(b) states that use of a
   linear amplifier voids the authority to operate.  On July 21, 2010, an
   agent from this office conducted an inspection of your CB station and
   observed several linear amplifiers. You admitted to the agent that you
   repair and test linear amplifiers and use a linear amplifier with the CB
   station in your vehicle.

   You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
   without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of 47
   U.S.C. S: 301 and could subject you to severe penalties, including, but
   not limited to, substantial monetary fines, in rem arrest action against
   the offending radio equipment, and criminal sanctions including
   imprisonment. (see 47 U.S.C. S:S: 401, 501, 503 and 510).

   UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
   IMMEDIATELY.

   If the harmful interference continues, the FCC may impose restricted hours
   of operation for your CB station, pursuant to Section 95.423 of the Rules.
   In addition, the Commission may commence a further investigation to
   determine whether you continue to operate your station in violation of any
   of the Commission's Rules.

   You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
   evidence that you are now operating your station in accordance with the
   Rules. Your response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and
   reference the listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of
   1974, 5 U.S.C. S: 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's
   staff will use all relevant material information before it to determine
   what, if any, enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance
   with FCC Rules. This will include any information that you disclose in
   your reply.

   You may contact this office if you have any questions.
