NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-FIELDWR-14-00017931 Document Number:
W201532900003
On December 17 and 18, 2014, in response to a complaint of unlicensed
operation on multiple H.F. frequencies, including those allocated
to aeronautical stations, agents from this office confirmed by radio
direction finding techniques that radio signals operating on frequencies
of 6280 kHz and 11595 kHz were emanating from a residence located near
Inyokern, California. A search of the property records for this location
found that you are the current owner and resident. The Commission's
records show that no license was issued for operation of a station on
either the frequencies of 6280 kHz or 11595 kHz at this location.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.
You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of
47 U.S.C. § 301 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. §§ 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. § 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.
Be advised that this notice does not preclude this office from pursuing
additional sanctions based upon our investigation of this incident.
You may contact this office if you have any questions.
