                      NOTICE OF UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION AND

                    INTERFERENCE TO LICENSED RADIO STATIONS

   Case No.: EB-11-SF-0069

   Document Number: W201132960007

   On May 11, 2011, in response to a complaint of interference, agents from
   the Enforcement Bureau's San Francisco Office visited your place of
   residence in Waterford, CA, and detected radio signals on 840 - 960 MHz
   and 1.6 - 2.0GHz emanating from a radio transmitter located within your
   fenced property. At the time of the investigation, the agents determined
   that you were operating a radio transmitting device designed to jam or
   intentionally interfere with licensed radio communications in the Cellular
   and PCS radio services (47 C.F.R. Part 22 and 24, respectively). You were
   previously warned by notice on January 5, 2011, and letter dated January
   6, 2011, concerning the operation of this device. You were again warned
   verbally on January 14, 2011.

   Persons operating or using radio transmitters must be licensed or
   authorized by the FCC, pursuant to Section 301 of the Communications Act
   of 1934, as amended. In addition, radio transmitting equipment must comply
   with FCC rules. Section 333 of the Act prohibits willful or malicious
   interference with any radio communications of any station licensed or
   authorized by or under the Act or operated by the United States
   Government. In addition, Section 302(b) of the Act, and Section 2.803 of
   the Commission's rules, prohibits the manufacture, importation, marketing,
   sale or operation of devices deliberately designed to jam or disrupt
   wireless communications. The Commission has issued two Public Notices
   specifically stating that the sale and use of transmitters designed to
   prevent, jam or interfere with the operation of cellular and personal
   communications service (PCS) telephones is unlawful. Please see the
   attached Public Notices DA 11-249 and DA 11-250, "Cell Jammers, GPS
   Jammers and Other Jamming Devices." See also the attached Public Notice DA
   05-1776, "Sale or Use of Transmitters Designed to Prevent, Jam or
   Interfere with Cell Phone Communications is Prohibited in the United
   States."

   The operation of the device utilized by you may constitute a violation of
   Sections 333, 302(b), and 301 of the Act, as described above. Such
   operation may subject you to substantial monetary forfeitures, in rem
   arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and criminal
   sanctions including imprisonment. Because unauthorized operation creates a
   danger of interference to important radio communications services, and may
   subject the operator to severe penalties, this warning emphasizes the
   importance of complying strictly with these legal requirements.

   UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO TRANSMITTING DEVICE MUST NOT RESUME.
   SUBSEQUENT OPERATION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND WILL RESULT IN SANCTIONS OF
   $16,000.00 PER DAY PER VIOLATION.

   You must respond with any information you believe relevant to this warning
   within (10) days from the date of this notice. Your response should be
   sent to the address in the letterhead and reference the listed case
   number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 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.

   Be advised that this notice does not preclude this office from pursuing
   additional sanctions based upon our investigation of this incident.
