   Released:  November 17, 2008

   By the District Director, Denver District 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 Pikes Peak Radio, LLC ("Pikes
       Peak"), licensee of Radio Station KRDO(AM), Colorado Springs,
       Colorado, and owner of antenna structure numbered 1012530 located in
       Colorado Springs, CO, Colorado.

    2. On October 8, 2008, at approximately 2:30 p.m., MDT, agents of the
       Enforcement Bureau's Denver Office inspected antenna structure
       numbered 1012530, located south/southeast of the intersection of
       Cimarron Street and South 8th Street in Colorado Springs, CO, and

        at the base (series fed, folded unipole, and insulated base antennas)
        must be enclosed within effective locked fences or other enclosures."
        At the time of the inspection, agents observed that one wood fence
        slat, approximately eight inches in width, had fallen down and the
        structure was not completely secured. Station KRDO(AM) transmits from
        this structure, and, as such, the structure has radio frequency
        potential at the base.

       violation and preclude recurrence, and should include a time line for
