                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

                                 CORRECTED COPY

                                                    Released: August 10, 2009

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Bella Vista Hospital, licensee of
       radio stations WPPC837 and KNAU611 in Mayaguez, PR.

    2. On July 29, 2009, agents from the San Juan Office of the Enforcement
       Bureau determined that the Bella Vista Hospital was using the
       frequency of 154.835 MHz as the input to their repeater. Commission
       records do not reflect 154.835 MHz as one of the frequencies covered
       by Bella Vista Hospital licenses. The agents from the San Juan Office
       observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: 1.903(a): "Stations in the Wireless Radio Services must be
   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." Furthermore, 47 C.F.R. S: 1.903(b) states: "The holding of an
   authorization does not create any rights beyond the terms, conditions and
   period specified in the authorization." While Bella Vista Hospital
   conducted a test transmission of their system, agents observed those
   transmissions and confirmed they were operating on 154.835 MHz. The Bella
   Vista Hospital also admitted that their system was operating on the
   frequency 154.835 MHz. On July 29, 2009, Bella Vista Hospital was not
   authorized under any license to operate on this frequency from the
   hospital or any other location.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Bella Vista
       Hospital must submit a written statement concerning this matter within
       twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response must fully
       explain each violation, must contain a statement of the specific
       action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and
       should include a time line for completion of pending corrective
       action(s). The response must be complete in itself and signed by a
       principal or officer of Bella Vista Hospital. All replies and
       documentation sent in response to this Notice should be marked with
       the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to the following
       address:

    5. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that we advise you that the
       Commission will use all relevant material information before it,
       including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance. Any false
