  1.      This is a Notice of Violation (``Notice'') issued 
     pursuant to Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules,1 to 
     Durham Christian Radio, Inc., licensee of radio station 
     WSRC(AM).

  2.      On March 9, 2005, an agent of the Commission's Norfolk 
     Office of the Enforcement Bureau inspected radio station 
     WSRC(AM) located in Durham, North Carolina, and observed the 
     following violations:

       a.   47 C.F.R. § 11.61(a):  EAS ``[t]ests shall be 
                 made at regular intervals as indicated in 
                 paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this 
                 section.''  The station failed to make 
                 Required Monthly Tests from January 1, 
                 2005 to March 9, 2005.

       b.   47 C.F.R. § 73.1560(d):  ``In the event it 
                 becomes technically impossible to operate 
                 at authorized power, a broadcast station 
                 may operate at reduced power for a period 
                 of not more than 30 days without specific 
                 authority from the FCC....If causes beyond 
                 the control of the licensee prevent 
                 restoration of the authorized power within 
                 30 days, a request for Special Temporary 
                 Authority must be made to the FCC in 
                 Washington, DC for additional time as may 
                 be necessary.''  At the time of 
                 inspection, the station was operating its 
                 AM transmitter at only 24.5% of authorized 
                 power without Commission authorization.

  3.      Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 
     1934, as amended,2 and Section 1.89 of the Commission's
