                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-11-CG-0028

   Document Number: W201132320008

   The Chicago District Office received information that an unlicensed
   broadcast radio station on 1650 kHz was allegedly operating in St. Paul,
   Minnesota. On May 15, 2011, an agent from this office confirmed by
   direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 1650 kHz were
   emanating from your business, Xeng Insurance Service, at 1088 Payne Avenue
   in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Commission's records show that no license was
   issued for operation of a broadcast station at this location on 1650 kHz
   in St. Paul, Minnesota.

   Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
   The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
   transmitters using or operating at a power level that complies with the
   standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S:S:
   15.1 et seq. In addition, the field strength of the signal on frequency
   1650  kHz was measured at 550 microvolts per meter (uV/m ) at 353 meters,
   which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 14.5 uV/m (24,000/1650) at
   30 meters established in section 15.209(a) of the Rules (See 47 C.F.R.
   S:15.209(a)).

   Another exception, for some transmitters operating in the 510 kHz to 1705
   kHz band, is found in 47 C.F.R. S:15.219. Specifically, section 15.219(b)
   of the Rules states "the total length of the transmission line, antenna,
   and ground lead (if used) shall not exceed approximately 3 meters." During
   the inspection on May 15, 2011, the agent observed the station had five
   antennas mounted on the roof, each with a vertical whip approximately 3
   meters long, and the ground leads totaled over 15 meters in length. This
   antenna installation violated section 15.219(b) of the Rules.

   You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
   without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of the
   Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator of this illegal
   operation to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial
   monetary forfeitures, 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.

   You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
   evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. 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.
