NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-FIELDWR-12-00006636
Document Number: W201332940001
The San Diego Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast
radio station on 101.9 MHz was allegedly operating in Phoenix, Arizona.
On January 29, 2013, an agent from this office confirmed by direction
finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 101.9 MHz were
emanating from the property at 3763 West Crocus Drive, Phoenix, Arizona.
Public records list you as the owner of the property. The Commission's
records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast
station at this location on 101.9 MHz in Phoenix, Arizona.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. S 301.
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
transmitters using or operating at a power level that complies with the
standards established in Part 15 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. SS
15.1 et seq. The operation on frequency 101.9 MHz was measured at
4,226,500 microvolts per meter (uV/m) at 3 meters. This exceeds the
allowable unlicensed limit of 250 uV/m at 3 meters established in Part 15.
Thus, this station is operating in violation of 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.
SS 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.
