                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-08-NF-0029 Document Number: W200832640003

   The Norfolk Office received a complaint from Verizon Wireless ("Verizon"),
   a FCC licensed user, that they were receiving interference on the
   frequency of 831.26 MHz. The interference was determined by Verizon to be
   caused by the operation of a bi-directional amplifier, which is an
   in-building radiation system commonly known as a BDA, located at your
   residence in Greensboro, North Carolina. On April 24, 2008, John Hanson,
   your stepson, admitted to a FCC agent, that he disconnected a "cell phone
   booster," on April 23, 2008, that was installed at your residence in
   Greensboro, North Carolina. The FCC agent later contacted Verizon and
   verified that they no longer detected interference coming from the BDA at
   your residence.

   Section 22.383 of the Commission's Rules, which applies to public mobile
   service licensees like Verizon, provides that "[l]icensees may install
   in-building radiation systems without applying for authorization or
   notifying the FCC, provided that the locations of the in-building
   radiation systems are within the protected service area of the licensee's
   authorized transmitter(s) on the same channel or channel block." A
   licensee's authority to install a BDA does not, without further
   authorization from the licensee, permit a subscriber to install a BDA. In
   response to an inquiry from an FCC agent, Verizon reported that it did not
   provide you authorization to install a BDA.

   Operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid FCC
   authorization or license is a violation of Section 301 of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 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 owner of this illegal operation to severe penalties,
   including, but not limited to, substantial civil forfeitures, a maximum
   criminal fine of $100,000 and/or one year imprisonment, or arrest of the
   equipment for the first offense (see 47 U.S.C. S:S: 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 with any
   evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. 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.
