                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-08-DT-0055

   Document Number:  W200832360010

   The Detroit Office received information that your Citizens Band ("CB")
   Radio Service station was being operated illegally and causing
   interference in Lexington, Michigan. On March 26, 2008 agents from this
   office attempted to inspect your CB station but you weren't available. In
   a subsequent telephone call on March 28, 2008 with one of the agents, you
   admitted using a 350 watt CB linear amplifier.

   Section 95.411(a)(1) prohibits the use of external radio frequency power
   amplifiers (sometimes called linears or linear amplifiers). 47 C.F.R. S:
   95.411(a)(1). Section 95.411(b) of the Rules provides that "use of a power
   amplifier voids your authority to operate the station." 47 C.F.R. S:
   95.411(b). By using a CB linear amplifier, you voided your authority to
   operate this station.

   Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
   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. S:S: 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 regarding
   the operation of your CB station. Your response should be sent to the
   address in the letterhead and reference the listed case and document
   number. 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.
