                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: November 2, 2012

   By the Acting District Director, Los Angeles, Western Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules), to Adelman Broadcasting, Inc.,
       licensee of radio station KLOA in Ridgecrest, California. Pursuant to
       Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this Notice does not
       preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted,
       including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for
       the violations noted herein.

    2. On June 18, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles
       Office monitored and inspected radio station KLOA located at
       Ridgecrest, and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1560(a): "AM stations. (1) Except as provided for in
        paragraph (d) of this section, the antenna input power of an AM
        station as determined by the procedures specified in S:73.51 must be
        maintained as near as is practicable to the authorized antenna input
        power and may not be less than 90% nor more than 105% of the
        authorized power." The station's power meter indicated operation at
        140 watts, which is only 17% of the authorized power (820 watts).

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1225(c)(5) "The following records shall be made
        available by all broadcast stations upon request by representatives
        of the FCC...(5) Station logs and special technical records." The
        station's representative informed the agent that the station logs
        were in possession of the Chief Engineer, who was not available, and
        therefore, neither were the station logs.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b)  of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, we seek
       additional information concerning the violations and any remedial
       actions taken. Therefore, Adelman Broadcasting, Inc., must submit a
       written statement concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of
       release of this Notice. The response (i) must fully explain each
       violation, including all relevant surrounding facts and circumstances,
       (ii) must contain a statement of the specific action(s) taken to
       correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include
       a time line for completion of any pending corrective action(s). The
       response must be complete in itself  and must not be abbreviated by
       reference to other communications or answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Commission's Rules, we direct
       Adelman Broadcasting, Inc. to support its response to this Notice with
       an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated
       by an authorized officer of Adelman Broadcasting, Inc. with personal
       knowledge of the representations provided in Adelman Broadcasting,
       Inc.'s response, verifying the truth and accuracy of the information
       therein, and confirming that all of the information requested by this
       Notice which is in the licensee's possession, custody, control, or
       knowledge has been produced. To knowingly and willfully make any false
       statement or conceal any material fact in reply to this Notice is
       punishable by fine or imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.

    5. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
       be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to
