   Housley Communications Inc.

   Carrollton, Texas

                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-10-DL-0001

   Document Number: W201032500010 

   The Dallas Office received information that an unlicensed radio station on
   459.125 MHz was allegedly operating in Dallas, Texas. The report specified
   a construction site from which the operation was occurring. On January 5,
   2010, an agent from this office traveled to the reported site, but the
   transmitter was not operating at that time. The agent inspected the
   Hetronic International Inc. transmitter (FCC ID LW9-CS458-TX), which was
   located on top of a directional drill. An agent spoke to the Regional
   Manager of Housley Communications, Inc. who admitted that they had been
   using the Hetronic transmitter. The Regional Manager agreed to cease
   operations at that time. The Commission's records show that no license has
   been issued for operation of this station on 459.125 MHz  from this or any
   location in Dallas, Texas.

   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 or mode of operation 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 Hetronic transmitter in question
   is authorized to operate in the 458.8-459.2 MHz band pursuant to Part
   90.217 of the Commission's rules, not Part 15. Accordingly, a license is
   required to operate this transmitter pursuant to Part 90 of the
   Commission's rules.

   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 to severe
   penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, 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 NOT RESUME.

   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.
