    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to Morris Communications, licensee of
       WDL923 in Columbia, South Carolina.

    2. On February 9, 2012, in response to a complaint, an agent from the
       Atlanta Office, investigated the WDL923 operations at 1111 Bull
       Street, Columbia, South Carolina, and observed the following
       violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 90.210(b)(3): "Except as indicated elsewhere in this
        part, transmitters used in the radio services governed by this part
        must comply with the emission masks outlined in the section. ...[T]he
        power of any emission must be attenuated below the unmodulated
        carrier output power (P) ... On any frequency removed from the center
        of the authorized bandwidth by more than 250 percent of the
        authorized bandwidth: At least 43 + 10 log(P) dB." The agent observed
        spurious emissions centered around 462.775 MHz that exceeded the
        required emission mask.

       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Morris

       within 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 include a time line for completion of pending corrective
       action(s). The response must be complete in itself and signed by a
       principal or officer of Morris Communications. All replies and
