NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released:  March 10, 2016
By the Resident Agent, Miami Office, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the 
Commission’s rules (Rules),1 to 305 Community Radio, Inc (305 CRI), licensee of Low Power FM 
(LPFM) station WMIV-LP in Miami, Florida.  Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this 
NOV does not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted, including issuing a 
Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for the violation(s) noted herein.2
2. On December 9, 2015, and February 23, 2016, based on a complaint, agents of the 
Enforcement Bureau’s Miami Office monitored transmissions on 107.9 MHz from radio station WMIV-
LP and observed the following violation:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 73.845: “Each LPFM licensee is responsible for maintaining and 
operating its broadcast station in a manner that complies with the technical 
rules set forth elsewhere in this part and in accordance with the terms of the 
station authorization…”  WMIV-LP is authorized to operate on frequency 
107.9 MHz from coordinates 25° 45’ 18” N latitude and 080° 12’ 32” W 
longitude, with an antenna height of 45 meters.  On December 9, 2015, and 
again on February 23, 2016, agents determined that WMIV-LP was 
transmitting from the roof of a high-rise building at coordinates 25° 45’ 
54.40” N latitude and 080° 11’ 25.04” W longitude, with an antenna height 
of approximately 179 meters. 305 CRI personnel later admitted that it had 
been operating WMIV-LP from that building for approximately one year,

without authorization.  Thus, 305 CRI was operating from a location which is 
1.33 miles from the authorized coordinates and with an antenna height which 
exceeds the authorized height by 134 meters.
3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,3 and 
Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information concerning the violations and any remedial 
actions taken.  Therefore, 305 CRI 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  
4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct 305 CRI to support its response 
to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized 
officer of 305 CRI with personal knowledge of the representations provided in 305 CRI’s response, 
verifying the truth and accuracy of the information therein,5 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.6
