Academia Adventista del Oeste

                 NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

                                   Case Number:  EB-05-SJ-042
                                   Document Number:  W20063268001

The San Juan Office received information that an unlicensed 
broadcast radio station on 90.90 MHz was allegedly operating in 
Mayayuez, Puerto Rico.  On December 14, 2005, agents from this 
office confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio 
signals on frequency 90.90 MHz were emanating from Academia 
Adventista del Oeste in Sector Cuba No. 1060, Mayaguez, Puerto 
Rico and inspected your radio station.  The Commission's records 
show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast 
station on 90.90 MHz at this location in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.  
You admitted that you were operating your station without a 
license and agreed to terminate operations.   

Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 
§ 301.  The only exception to this licensing requirement is for 
certain transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode 
of operation that complies with the standards established in Part 
15 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§  15.1 et seq.  Based 
on the type of equipment in use at the station and the distance 
over which your station's signal could be heard, the signal on 
90.90 MHz exceeded Part 15 levels.  Thus, this station was 
operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301.

You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting 
equipment without a valid radio station authorization constitutes 
a violation of the Federal laws cited above and could subject the 
operator to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, 
substantial monetary fines, in rem arrest action against the 
offending radio equipment, and criminal sanctions including 
imprisonment.  (see 47 U.S.C. §§ 401, 501, 503 and 510).

UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST NOT RESUME.

You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond 
with any evidence that you have authority to operate granted by 
the FCC.  Your response should be sent to the address in the 
letterhead and reference the listed case and document number.  
Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are 
informing you that the Commission's staff will use all relevant 
material information before it to determine what, if any, 
enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with FCC 
Rules.  This will include any information that you disclose in 
your reply.

You may contact this office if you have any questions.

Resident Agent
San Juan Office
