  2.      On June 2, 2004,  between 7:30 p.m.  and 8:45 p.m.,  an 
     agent of the Commission's Philadelphia Office used direction 
     finding techniques to determine that Chapman operated  radio 
     transmitting equipment on the frequency 146.550 MHz from 152 
     East Myrtle Avenue,  Feasterville, Pennsylvania 19053.   The 
     FCC  agent  monitored  Chapman's  radio  communications  and 
     observed that Chapman was in violation of the following:    

  2.a.      47 C.F.R. § 97.119(a):  ``Each amateur  station,

            must  transmit its  assigned  call sign  on  its 
            transmitting  channel   at  the   end  of   each 
            communication,  and at  least every  10  minutes 
            during  a  communication,  for  the  purpose  of 
            clearly marking the source of the  transmissions 
            from the  station known to  those receiving  the 
            transmissions.    No   station   may    transmit 
            unidentified  communications   or  signals,   or 
            transmit  as the  station  call sign,  any  call 
            sign not  authorized to that  station.  On  June 
            2,  2004  between  7:30  p.m.  and  8:45   p.m., 
            Chapman  failed to  transmit his  amateur  radio 
            service  call sign  KB3IXS every  10 minutes  on 
            the    frequency   146.55    MHz   during    his 
            communication with other radio operators.   

  2.b.      47  C.F.R. §  97.113(a):  ``No  amateur  station 
            shall  transmit...obscene or  indecent words  or 
            language...''   On June  2, 2004  at 7:50  p.m., 
            Chapman  transmitted the  word ``shit''  on  the 
            frequency 146.55 MHz.

     actions.  The response must be complete in itself and signed
