NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-FIELDWR-12-00003782
Document Number: W201232900010
The Los Angeles Office received a complaint from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) concerning interference to their 1240 - 1300 MHz band
radar in San Pedro, CA. On July 26, 2012, agents from this office used
direction-finding techniques to locate a radio signal on 1282 MHz
emanating from a wireless camera mounted on a Palm tree in the parking lot
of Redondo Beach Marina near the intersection of Portofino Way and North
Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach CA. When AC power to the camera was
disconnected, the interference ceased. The Commission's records show that
no license was issued for operation of a transmitter at this location on
1282 MHz in Redondo Beach, CA.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S: 301.
You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of the
Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator of this illegal
operation to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial
monetary forfeitures, in rem arrest action against the offending radio
equipment, and criminal sanctions including imprisonment. (See 47 U.S.C.
S:S: 401, 501, 503 and 510.)
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY.
You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference the
listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.
S: 552a(e)(3), 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.
You may contact this office if you have any questions.
