                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-10-DT-0315

   Document Number: W201132360001

   The Detroit Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast radio
   station on 1640 kHz was allegedly operating in Paulding, Ohio. On
   September 29, 2010, an agent from this office confirmed by direction
   finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 1640  kHz were
   emanating from 101 E. Perry Street, Paulding, Ohio. The Commission's
   records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast
   station on 1640 kHz  at this location in  Paulding, Ohio.  

   During the investigation of the unlicensed AM broadcast radio station in
   Paulding, Ohio on September 29, 2010, it was also determined that you were
   operating an unlicensed FM station. On this date, an agent from this
   office confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on
   frequency 98.5 MHz were emanating from 101 E. Perry Street, Paulding,
   Ohio. The Commission's records show that no license was issued for
   operation of a broadcast station on 98.5 MHz  at this location in
   Paulding, Ohio.  

   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 field strength of the signal on
   frequency 1640 kHz was measured at 3,600  microvolts per meter (uV/m) at
   84.1 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 14.6 uV/m 
   (24000/1640) at 30 meters established in Section 15.209 of the Rules (See
   47 C.F.R. S: 15.209(a)).  Thus, this station is operating in violation of
   47 U.S.C. S: 301.

   The field strength of the signal on frequency 98.5 MHz was measured at
   6,968 microvolts per meter (uV/m) at 106.3 meters, which exceeded the
   maximum permitted level of 250uV/m at 3 meters for non-licensed devices.
   Thus, this station is operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. S: 301.

   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 THESE RADIO STATIONS 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.
