   This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of
   the Commission's rules to Entertainment Media Trust, licensee of AM
   Station WQQX in East St. Louis, Illinois. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of
   the Rules, issuance of this NOV does not preclude the Enforcement Bureau
   from further action if warranted, including issuing a Notice of Apparent
   Liability for Forfeiture for the violation(s) noted herein.

    1. On June 28, 2012, an agent of the Commission's Chicago Office
       inspected Station WQQX  at its main studio at 6500 West Main Street,

       violations:

   a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1560: ". . . [T]he antenna input power of an AM station
   . . . may not be less than 90% . . . of the authorized power." At the time
   of inspection, the antenna input power was 763 watts which is 76.3% of the
   authorized power.

   b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1225(d): "Commercial and noncommercial AM stations must
   make . . . available upon request by representatives of the FCC. (1) Copy

   available.

   c. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1230(a): "The station license . . . shall be posted . .
   . at the place the licensee considers to be the principal control point of

   control point.

    2. Pursuant to Section 308(b)  of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, we seek
