   must be reduced to the greatest extent practicable. If any spurious

   station, the licensee of the interfering amateur station is required to
   take steps to eliminate the interference." During the inspection, agents
   detected spurious emissions from your repeater station on 145.35 MHz,
   caused by a transmitter malfunction, which were interfering with aviation
   communications on 132.25 MHz. You ceased operations of your repeater
   station when informed of the interference.

       (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
