                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-09-DV-0025

   Document Number: W200932800008

   The Denver Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast radio
   station on 103.5 MHz was allegedly operating in Wolcott, CO. On May 7,
   2009, agents from this office confirmed by direction finding techniques
   that radio signals on frequency 103.5 MHz were emanating from your
   residence in Wolcott, CO. The Commission's records show that no license
   was issued for operation of a broadcast station at this location on 103.5
   MHz in Wolcott, CO.

   Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
   The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
   transmitters using or operating at a power level that complies with the
   standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.
   S:S:  15.1 et seq. Your operation on frequency 103.5 MHz was measured at
   1,338,282 microvolts per meter (uV/m) at 3 meters. This exceeds the
   allowable unlicensed limit of 250 uV/m at 3 meters established in Part 15.
   Thus, this station is operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. S: 301.

   In addition, spurious radio signals associated with the operation of this
   station were detected on the frequency of 310.5 MHz. These spurious
   signals are within the radio frequency band assigned for communications
   between aircraft and/or aircraft aviation ground facilities. These signals
   may present a safety hazard to the operation of aircraft since air/ground
   communications could be affected.

   Also, spurious radio signals associated with the operation of this station
   were detected on the frequency of 207.0 MHz. These spurious signals are
   within the frequency band assigned for television stations, and could
   interfere with licensed or other authorized radio communications.

   You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
   without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of the
   Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator 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.
