    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section

       and observed the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.35(a): "EAS Participants must determine the cause of

        reasons why any tests were not received 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, there were no entries in the station's logs indicating
        why KWCF did not receive several Required Weekly Tests from KLGT-FM,
        an assigned monitoring source, during the period May 1, 2011, through
        August 13, 2011.
