                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-09-LA-0141

   Document Number: W201032900003

   The Los Angeles Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast
   radio station on 1590  kHz was allegedly operating in Boulder City,
   Nevada. On November 19, 2009, agents  from this office confirmed by
   direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 1590 kHz 
   were emanating from your residence in Boulder City, Nevada. The
   Commission's records show that no license was issued for operation of a
   broadcast station at this location on 1590  kHz in Boulder City, Nevada.

   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. The field strength of the signal on frequency 1590 kHz was
   measured at 35,000 microvolts per meter (uV/m) at 30 meters, which
   exceeded the maximum permitted level of 15.1 uV/m (24,000/1590) at 30
   meters established in Section 15.209(a) of the Rules (See 47 C.F.R.
   S:15.209(a)).

   In addition, Section 15.219(b) of the Rules states "the total length of
   the transmission line, antenna and ground lead (if used) shall not exceed
   3 meters." During the inspection on November 19, 2009, the agents observed
   that the total length of the transmission line and the antenna used by the
   station extended over the roof of the residence and significantly exceeded
   3 meters.  This antenna installation violated Section 15.219(b) of the
   Rules. See 47 C.F.R. 15.219(b). 

   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.
