Re: WARNING FOR UNLICENSED RADIO OPERATION
EB-10-GB-0091
Dear Mr. Wireman:
It has come to the attention of the Federal Communications Commission that
at various times in the last several months you have operated overpowered
transmitting equipment on 11 meters that is causing interference to
operators in the amateur bands, for which a license is required.
The Commission's rules require that you operate your CB station with an
FCC certified CB transmitter. The rules also prohibit the use of external
radiofrequency power amplifiers (sometimes called linears or linear
amplifiers). The rules further provide that use of a non-certified CB
transmitter and/or a power amplifier voids your authority to operate the
station."
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 and
should include a time line for completion of pending corrective action(s).
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.
Sincerely,
Laura L. Smith
Special Counsel
