    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Marshall Jackson, licensee of a
       maritime radio station and owner of vessel #MC0937PV located in
       Detroit, Michigan.

    2. On September 26, 2008, in response to an interference complaint from
       the United States Coast Guard, agents of the Commission's Detroit
       Office monitored and inspected the radio station aboard vessel
       #MC0937PV and observed the following violation:

   signals or communications not addressed to a particular station or
   stations. This provision does not apply to the transmission of distress,
   alarm, urgency, or safety signals or messages, or to test transmissions."
   The agents determined that a VHF transmitter installed on vessel #MC0937PV
   was found to be transmitting a continuous unmodulated carrier on VHF
   Marine channel 16 (156.8 MHz), the International Distress, Safety and
   Calling Frequency. The transmission was not conducted as a test or for
   distress or emergency purposes.

    3. Pursuant to Sections 308(b) and 403 of the Communications Act of 1934,
       as amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Marshall

       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
       Marshall Jackson. All replies and documentation sent in response to
       this Notice should be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified
