                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: 4/14/2010

   By the District Director, Dallas Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules ("Rules") to Wilks License Company -
       Lubbock LLC (Wilks), licensee of radio stations KONE and KMMX in 
       Lubbock and Tahoka, Texas.

    2. On February 24, 2010, an agent of the Commission's Dallas Office
       inspected/monitored radio stations KONE and KMMX, located near
       Lubbock, Texas, and observed the following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.317(c): "Any emission appearing on a frequency
        removed from the carrier by more than 240 kHz and up to and including
        600 kHz must be attenuated at least 35 dB below the level of the
        unmodulated carrier." At the time of the inspection, the spectrum
        sample from radio station KONE, 101.1 MHz, had spurious emissions
        from 100.5 MHz to 100.7 MHZ and from 101.4 MHz to 101.6 MHz which
        were not attenuated as required.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.317(d): Any emission appearing on a frequency removed
        from the carrier by more than 600 kHz must be attenuated at least 43
        + 10 Log10 (Power, in watts) dB below the level of the unmodulated
        carrier, or 80 dB, whichever is the lesser attenuation." At the time
        of the inspection, the spectrum sample from radio station KONE, 101.1
        MHz, had spurious emissions from 97.2 MHz to 100.5 MHZ, from 101.6
        MHz to 104.8 MHz and 108.6 MHz which were not attenuated as required.
        At the time of the inspection, the spectrum sample from radio station
        KMMX, 100.3 MHz had spurious emissions from 98.6 MHz to 99.7 MHz
        which were not attenuated as required. The spurious signals in KMMX
        were caused by strong signals feeding back to the KMMX transmitter
        from the combiner with KONE.

    3. On February 24, 2010, at the time of the inspection, radio station
       KONE had a spurious inter-modulation product emission on 108.6 MHz.
       The inter-modulation product included audio from 101.1 MHz, and 100.3
       MHz. The modulation from the 108.6 MHz inter-modulation produced
       varying signal levels on the Lubbock Preston Smith International
       Airport Instrument Landing System (ILS) channel 109.5 MHz. The signals
       on the ILS channel were observed at the transmitter site as high as 10
       dB above the channel noise floor. These signals appear to be the cause
       of one of the reports which placed the ILS out of service,
       specifically a report of disruption in the ILS at fifteen miles south
       of the airport runway, and required corrective action by the station.
       Radio station KONE's transmitter site is approximately 2.9 miles west
       of the center line point, which is fourteen miles south of the Lubbock
       Preston Smith International Airport runway. Station KONE's engineer
       adjusted the transmitter removing the spurious emission on 108.6 MHz,

    4. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Wilks License
       Company - Lubbock LLC, 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 also fully explain the steps
       it is taking to ensure that spurious emissions do not interfere with
       Instrument Landing Equipment, utilizing frequencies between 108.0 MHz
       and 118.0 MHz, onboard aircraft passing within two miles of its
       transmitter site. The response must be complete in itself and signed
       by a principal or officer of the licensee. 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:
