                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February 20, 2008

   By the District Director, Seattle 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 Manson Construction & Engineering
       Company (Manson), licensee of station WQAU454 in Seattle, Washington.

    2. On January 29, 2008, in response to a complaint of interference from
       Marine Terminals Corp., to frequency 469.4875 MHz, an agent of the
       Enforcement Bureau's Seattle District Office, using a mobile
       direction-finding vehicle monitored the frequency 469.4875 MHz, and
       observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.403(e): "Licensees shall take reasonable precautions
        to avoid causing interference. This includes monitoring the
        transmitting frequency for communications in progress and such other
        measures as may be necessary to minimize the potential for causing
        interference." At the time of the investigation, the Seattle agent,
        after tracking the signal to 2340 Alexander Ave., Tacoma, Washington,
        observed continuous digital transmissions on the frequency 469.500
        MHz. with an emission bandwidth of 25 KHz. After identifying the
        signal as the source of the interference, the service technician for
        Manson's transmitter turned the system off and the interference
        ceased.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 1.903(a): "Stations in the wireless Radio Service must
        be used and operated only in accordance with the rules applicable to
        their particular service as set forth in this title and with a valid
        authorization granted by the Commission under the provisions of this
        part..." At the time of the investigation, the agent determined that
        WQAU454 was transmitting on 469.500 MHz. with an emission bandwidth
        of 25 KHz. WQAU454 is only authorized an emission bandwidth of 19.6
        KHz. (19K6F1D).

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Manson must submit a
       written statement concerning this matter within 10 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 a principal or officer of the
       licensee. 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:
