   Elizabethtown, KY Document Number: W20063232003

                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   This office has received information from the Elizabethtown, Kentucky
   Police Department regarding interference to its radio communication
   system. Specifically, the Elizabethtown Police Department reported to us
   that, from approximately June 26 to July 24, 2006, you operated a
   transmitter on 155.250 MHz and intentionally caused interference to police
   radio communications. There is no record in the Commission's licensing
   database that you have an authorization to operate a transmitter on
   155.250 MHz.

   Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to Section 301 of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"). Your operation on 155.250
   MHz without a license violated Section 301 of the Act. In addition,
   Section 333 of the Act provides that no person shall willfully or
   maliciously interfere with or cause interference to any radio
   communications of any station licensed under the Act. By intentionally
   interfering with police radio communications, you violated Section 333 of
   the Act.

   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. SS 401, 501, 503 and
   510).

   UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
   IMMEDIATELY.

   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. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. S 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.

   provide for the use of such channels, but not the ownership thereof, by
   persons for limited periods of time, under licenses granted by Federal
   authority, and no such license shall be construed to create any right,
   beyond the terms, conditions, and periods of the license. No person shall
   use or operate any apparatus for the transmission of energy or
   communications or signals by radio (a) from one place in any State,
   Territory, or possession of the United States or in the District of

   within any State when the effects of such use extend beyond the borders of
   said State, or when interference is caused by such use or operation with
   the transmission of such energy, communications, or signals from within
   said State to any place beyond its borders, or from any place beyond its
   borders to any place within said State, or with the transmission or
   reception of such energy, communications, or signals from and/or to places
   beyond the borders of said State; or (e) upon any vessel or aircraft of
   the United States (except as provided in section 303(t); or (f) upon any
   other mobile stations within the jurisdiction of the United States, except
   under and in accordance with this Act and with a license in that behalf
   granted under the provisions of this Act.

   binding on the United States, to ascertain whether in construction,
   installation, and operation they conform to the requirements of the rules
   and regulations of the Commission, the provision of any Act, the terms of
   any treaty or convention binding on the United States and the conditions
   of the license or other instrument of authorization under which they are
   constructed, installed, or operated.

   Section 333. Willful or Malicious Interference

   done any act, matter, or thing, in this Act prohibited or declared to be
   unlawful, or who willfully or knowingly omits or fails to do any act,
   matter, or thing in this Act required to be done, or willfully and
   knowingly causes or suffers such omission or failure, shall, upon
   conviction thereof, be punished for such offense, for which no penalty
   (other than a forfeiture) is provided in this Act, by a fine of not more
   than $10,000 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year, or
   both; except that any person, having been once convicted of an offense
   punishable under this section, who is subsequently convicted of violating
   any provision of this Act punishable under this section, shall be punished
   by a fine of not more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for a term not
   exceeding two years, or both.

   this Act or of any rule, regulation, or order issued by the Commission
   under this Act or under any treaty, convention, or other agreement to
   which the United States is a party and which is binding on the United
   States;

   ...

   shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty.
