                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: July 8, 2010

   By the District Director,  Los Angeles  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 Ondas De Vida Network, Inc.
       ("Ondas"), licensee of FM Broadcast radio station KODV(FM),  Barstow ,
       California..  This Notice may be combined with a further action, if
       further action is warranted.

    2. On February 25, 2010,   an agent  of the Enforcement Bureau's  Los
       Angeles  Office inspected KODV,  located at 16149 Yates Road, 
       Victorville, California, and observed the following violations:

   a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.15 " The EAS Operating Handbook states in summary form
   the actions to be taken by personnel at EAS Participant facilities upon
   receipt of an EAN, an EAT, tests, or State and Local Area Alert. It is
   issued by the FCC and contains instructions for the above situations. A
   copy of the Handbook must be located at normal duty positions or EAS
   equipment locations when an operator is required to be on duty and be
   immediately available to staff responsible for authenticating messages and
   initiating action." At the time of inspection, the Los Angeles agent
   observed that radio station KODV did not have an EAS Operating Handbook
   available to station staff.

   b. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.35(a): "EAS Participants must determine the cause of
   any failure to receive  the required tests or activations specified in
   Sections 11.61(a)(1) and (a)(2). Appropriate entries indicating reasons
   why any tests were not received or sent must be made in the broadcast
   station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840 of this chapter
   for all broadcast streams . . . . "  At the time of the inspection, the
   Los Angeles agent found that there were no entries in the station log
   indicating why tests had not been re-transmitted  over the four months
   prior to the inspection.

   c. 47 C.F.R. S:  11.61(a): "EAS Participants shall conduct tests at
   regular intervals as specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this
   section. Additional tests may be performed anytime. EAS activations and
   special tests may be performed in lieu of the required tests as specified
   in paragraph (a)(4) of this section. All tests will conform with the
   procedures in the EAS Operating Handbook." At the time of inspection  KODV
   failed to insure that all tests of the EAS system were conducted over the
   four months prior to the inspection.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that
       broadcasters play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its regulatees. Pursuant to Section 403 of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.89 of the
       Commission's Rules, we seek additional information concerning the
       violations and any remedial actions the station may have taken. 
       Therefore, Ondas, must submit a written statement concerning this
       matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response
       (i) must fully explain each violation, including all relevant
       surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a statement of
       the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude
       recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for completion of any
       pending corrective action(s). The response must be complete in itself 
       and must not be abbreviated by reference to other communications or
       answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Commission's Rules, we direct
       Ondas,  to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of Ondas, with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in Ondas De Vida Network, Inc.'s response,
       verifying the truth and accuracy of the information therein, and
       confirming that all of the information requested by this Notice which
       is in the licensee's possession, custody, control, or knowledge has
       been produced. To knowingly and willfully make any false statement or
       conceal any material fact in reply to this Notice is punishable by
       fine or imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.
