    2. On April 23, 2009, in response to a complaint of interference to Anne
       Arundel County's public safety channels, agents of the Commission's
       Columbia Office, located the source of the interference to a

       observed the following violation:

   used and operated only in accordance with the rules applicable to their
   particular service as set forth in this title and with a valid
   authorization granted by the Commission under the provisions of this part,
   except as specified in paragraph (b) of this section." The BDA, owned and
   operated by Nextel, was emitting a signal on approximately 810.2625 MHz, a
   frequency not authorized by the WPSB795 license.

       must be complete in itself and signed by a principal or officer of the
       licensee with personal knowledge of the matter. All replies and
