    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section

       licensee of radio station WQAB(FM) in Philippi, West Virginia.

    2. On December 6, 2006, agents of the Commission's Columbia Field Office
       inspected radio station WQAB,  located at Philippi, West Virginia and
       observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 11.15: "A copy of the [EAS Operating] Handbook must be
        located at normal duty positions or EAS equipment locations when an
        operator is required to be on duty, and immediately available to
        staff responsible for authenticating messages and initiating
        actions." During the inspection, the EAS Handbook was not available.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 11.61(b): EAS "entries must be made in broadcast station
        records as specified in S  11.54(b)(12)." At the time of the

        must be in writing with a copy of the designation posted with the

        there was no written designation of the chief operator.

     d. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1870(c)(3): "The chief operator is responsible
        for...review of the station records at least once each week to
        determine if required entries are being made correctly..." At the

        the station records to indicate that they had been reviewed.
