   Re: Vanity Call Sign KP3KJ

   EB-09-GB-0185

   Dear Mr. Lopez-Garcia:

   According to Commission records, on March 4, 2005, you requested the call
   sign KP3KJ as a "former holder" of that call sign. By letter dated June
   17, 2009, the Commission notified you that it was unable to find
   documentation that you were indeed a former holder of KP3KJ and requested
   that you provide documentation that you held KP3KJ prior to your March 4,
   2005 grant.

   You responded to the Commission's letter on June 29, 2009. In that letter,
   you acknowledged that you were not a former holder of call sign KP3KJ. You
   noted, however, that you did not knowingly make the claim that you were a
   former holder but that instead you inadvertently checked box "A" when you
   meant to check box "E." You further indicated that Spanish was your first
   language and that is was often difficult for you to understand the English
   text in the forms.

   A review of Commission records indicates that in your application of
   February 14, 2005, you did indeed request the call sign KP3KJ pursuant to
   the "former holder" exemption. While we do recognize that, in your
   instance, there was an error in completing the application due to a
   language barrier, we note that you did receive a call sign under an
   exemption for which you were not eligible.

   Accordingly, you have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of this
   letter to voluntarily file an application to modify your current call sign
   back to your prior call sign of WP3ZU or to apply for another call sign
   for which you are eligible.

   Should you fail to do this within the prescribed time frame, the
   Commission will initiate a license modification proceeding against you and
   will so modify your license on our own motion. In addition, the Commission
   would have the discretion to pursue possible enforcement action against
   you for knowingly and willfully making a false statement or concealing a
   material fact with respect to your original application incorrectly
   stating that you were a "former holder" of the call sign in question.

   Please call me at (717) 338-2577 if you have any questions about this
   matter.

   Sincerely,

   Laura L. Smith
