                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: June 17, 2010

   By the Resident Agent, Portland Resident Agent Office, Western Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to Brad Jeremy Gordon, operator and
       owner of motor vessel Lucky Lo, Hood River, Oregon.

    2. On June 12, 2010, in response to an interference complaint on Marine
       Channel 16 from the Coast Guard Sector Portland, an agent of the
       Enforcement Bureau's Portland Resident Agent Office monitored and
       inspected ship radio station installed on M/V Lucky Lo, Hood River,
       Oregon and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 80.89(e): "Stations must not transmit while on board
        vessels located on land unless authorized under a public coast
        station license." Using radio direction finding equipment, the
        inspecting agent located the signal on Channel 16 to the M/V Lucky Lo
        on a boat trailer located on land at Gordon's residence in Hood
        River, Oregon. During the inspection, the agent found that a
        malfunctioned marine VHF radio model SeaTec 12 DX was keyed up, and
        transmitting a continuous carrier on Marine VHF Channel 16.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 80.89(a): "Stations must not engage in superfluous radio
        communications." There appeared to be no authorized purpose for the
        transmissions.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b)  of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Brad Jeremy
       Gordon must submit a written statement concerning this matter within
       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 Brad Jeremy
       Gordon. 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:
