    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Farmers Communications, licensee of
       radio station KTWL and owner of antenna structure # 1204066.

    2. On August 11, 2008, an agent of the Commission's Houston Office
       inspected antenna structure # 1204066 located near Navasota, Texas,
       and observed the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.51(a): "All red obstruction lighting shall be
        exhibited from sunset to sunrise unless otherwise specified." On the
        above date after local sunset neither the top nor the midpoint red
        obstruction beacon was exhibited. Additionally, only one side light
        on the structure was exhibited, all others were dark.

    3. On August 15, 2008, an agent of the Commission's Houston Office
       inspected the main studio and transmitter site of station KTWL and
       observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1226(a): "Station records and logs shall be made
        available for inspection or duplication at the request of the FCC or
        its representative. ..." At the time of inspection, station records
        and logs including tower light logs (see 73.1820(a)(1)(i) and logs
        concerning Emergency Alert System (see 73.1820(a)(1)(iii) were not
        available for inspection.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1350(c): "The license must establish monitoring
        procedures and schedules for the station and the indicating
        instruments employed must comply with S:73.1215." At the time of
        inspection, the station's representative stated the station did not
        have monitoring procedures or schedules.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1400: "The licensee of an AM, FM, TV, or Class A TV
        station is responsible for assuring that at all times the station
        operates within the tolerances specified by the applicable technical
        rules contained in this part and in accordance with the terms of the
        station authorization. Any method of complying with applicable
        tolerances is permissible." At the time of inspection, a "dial up "
        remote control system was utilized to control the transmitter and
        monitor its operation. Station employees were not able to determine
        the power output of the transmitter or confirm the operation complied
        with the station's authorization.

     d. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1870(b)(3): "The designation of chief operator must
        be in writing with a copy of the designation posted with the station
        license." At the time of inspection, a written designation of the
        chief operator could not be produced.

     e. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.3526(e)(12): Public Inspection File Requirements "For
        commercial AM and FM broadcast stations, every three months a list of

        At the time of inspection, the list for the second quarter of 2008
