NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-08-DV-0337
Document Number: W200932800001
The Denver Office received information that an unlicensed radio operator
was allegedly transmitting on 156.800 MHz (Marine safety band, channel 16)
in Huron, South Dakota. On October 3, 2008, an agent from this office
confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency
156.800 MHz were emanating from the farm near 213th Street & 392nd Avenue
in Huron, South Dakota. On October 4, 2008, the same radio transmission
was detected again near 204th Street and 412th Avenue in Huron, South
Dakota. The radio operator identified himself to the agent as Jeremy
Wallman. The Commission's records show that no license was issued to
Jeremy Wallman for operation on 156.800 MHz at this location in Huron,
South Dakota.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of 47
U.S.C. S: 301 and could subject the owner of this illegal operation to
severe penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary
forfeitures, in rem arrest action against the offending radio equipment,
and criminal sanctions including imprisonment. (See 47 U.S.C. S:S: 401,
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.
