    2. On February 2, 2007, based on a complaint, an agent of the Enforcement
       Bureau's Anchorage Office using direction finding and signal strength
       techniques located the source of interference to a local specialized
       mobile service ("SMR") system. Subsequent on/off testing of a
       bi-directional amplifier ("BDA") located at the ML&P Operations Center
       was found to be the interfering source. The agent observed the
       following violation:

        authorization granted by the Commission under the provisions of this
        part, except as specified in the Section 1.903(b)." The BDA was
        emitting a signal on approximately 815.0000 MHz, a frequency not
        authorized by WPRI529 license.
