                         NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

   Case Number: EB-FIELDNER-13-00008458 Document Number: W201432360003

   The Detroit Office received a complaint that your CB radio station may be
   operating overpower and causing interference to neighborhood home
   electronic entertainment equipment.

   On May 13, 2014, an agent of the Commission's Detroit Office inspected
   your CB station and found that you had two power amplifiers (linears)
   installed at your station. In addition, you admitted you were operating
   your station with the linears and their total output power was 1000 watts
   and could be tuned to 5000 watts. Under Section 95.411 of the Rules, the
   use of a power amplifier (linear) voids your authority to operate the
   station.^

   Operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid FCC
   authorization or license is a violation of Section 301 of the
   Communications Act of 1934, as amended,^ and may subject the responsible
   parties to substantial monetary forfeitures, in rem arrest action against
   the offending radio equipment, and criminal sanctions including
   imprisonment.^ Because unlicensed operation creates a danger of
   interference to important radio communications services and may subject
   the operator to severe penalties, this warning emphasizes the importance
   of complying strictly with these legal requirements.

   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 to severe
   penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, 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 ceased transmitting with excessive power at your CB
   station. 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.
