Dear Mr. Crusey:
The Federal Communications Commission has previously notified you by

(Address withheld)
Tipp City, OH 45371
Tel: (Number withheld)
In the June 10, 2013 letter, you were advised that this problem, if
unresolved, could be a violation of Commission rules and could result in a
monetary forfeiture. For this reason, we encouraged the parties involved
to voluntarily resolve this matter without Commission intervention. If
however it became necessary to facilitate a resolution, the Commission
might investigate possible rules violations and address appropriate
remedies, including monetary forfeiture.
You were further advised to inform the complainant within 60 days of what
steps would be taken to correct this reported interference problem. In
addition, if unable to resolve this matter within those 60 days, you were
advised to inform this office about the nature of the problem, the steps
being taken to resolve it and the estimated time in which those steps
could be accomplished. Although you have responded to (namewithheld)
within the specified time period, the harmful interference he reported to
this office still remains unresolved.
In order to avoid possible enforcement action, please advise this office
within 30 days of the date of receiving this letter of what action you
have made, or intend to make, in order to identify and correct the source
of these radio emissions if they are being caused by your equipment.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me in writing
at: 1270 Fairfield Road, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325 or via telephone
at: 717-338-2577.
Sincerely,
