   By the Resident Agent, Anchorage Resident Agent 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 Alan Robichaux.

    2. On April 25, 2008, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's Anchorage
       Resident Agent Office, in response to a complaint, used direction
       finding and signal strength techniques and located an un-modulated
       carrier on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz emanating from aircraft N8051Z at Big
       Lake Airport, Alaska. The Anchorage agents observed the following
       violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: 87.193: "Transmissions by emergency locator transmitters
   (ELTs) are intended to be actuated manually or automatically and operated
   automatically as part of an aircraft or a survival craft station as a
   locating aid for survival purposes." The ELT was apparently activated by
   faulty electronics transmitting a continuous un-modulated carrier.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Alan Robichaux 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 Alan Robichaux. 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
