                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: September 29,  2006

   By the District Director, Los Angeles Office, Western Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to Edwin "Bud" Summers, licensee of
       maritime radio station, U. S. Coast Guard Hull ID Number 677197.

    2. On September 18, 2006, in response to a complaint from the U.S. Coast
       Guard, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles Office
       inspected an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon ("EPIRB")
       located on the licensee's M/V Reel Time II moored in Dana Point
       Harbor, Dana Point, California, and observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S 80.89(a): "Stations must not engage in superfluous
   radiocommunication." Transmissions by EPIRBs are intended to be actuated
   manually or automatically and operated automatically as part of a ship or
   a survival craft station as a locating aid for survival purposes. At the
   time of the inspection, the agent determined that the EPIRB's switch was
   broken, which had caused the inadvertent activation of the device.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Edwin "Bud"
       Summers must submit a written statement concerning this matter within
       20 days of release of this Notice. The response must fully explain
       each violation, must contain a statement of the specific action(s)
       taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and should
       include a time line for completion of pending corrective action(s).
       The response must be complete in itself and signed by Edwin "Bud"
       Summers. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice
       should be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and
       mailed to the following address:

    4. This Notice shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested,

       Commission will use all relevant material information before it,
       including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance. Any false
       statement made knowingly and willfully in reply to this Notice is
       punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.
