   Released: July  16, 2008

   By the District Director, Denver 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 Colorado Springs Utilities,
       licensee of radio station WQCR605 in Leadville, Colorado.

    2. On June 27, 2008, in response to a complaint of interference on
       127.925 MHz from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), an agent
       of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver Office, using mobile direction
       finding techniques, located the source of interference to be radio
       station WQCR605, located at the Bureau of Reclamation Building atop
       Hagerman Pass Electronic site, near Leadville, Colorado. The agent
       observed the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.403(e): "Licensees shall take reasonable precautions
        to avoid causing harmful interference." At the time of the
        observation, the Denver agent determined that the interference was
        caused by spurious emissions emanating from Colorado Springs
        Utilities, radio station WQCR605, authorized to operate on a center
        frequency of 159.600 MHz. The Colorado Springs Utilities transmitter
        was confirmed as the source of interference by the FAA and a Bureau
        of Reclamation employee on July 1, 2008.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Colorado Springs Utilities
       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 a principal or officer of
       Colorado Springs Utilities. All replies and documentation sent in
