NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDNER-16-00021400
Document Number: W201632380035
In response to complaints, on August 3, 2012, FCC Special Counsel issued you a Warning For 
Unlicensed Radio Operation for operating on frequencies in the Amateur Radio Service without 
authorization.  Subsequently, FCC Special Counsel also had several telephone conversations 
with you regarding the complaints and gave you similar verbal warnings.  In spite of these 
warnings, the New York Office continued to receive information that you were operating radio 
transmitting equipment on frequencies in the Amateur Radio Services, Land Mobile Radio 
Services, and Personal Radio Services without authorization.  On April 7, 2016, agents from this 
office confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 147.960 MHz 
were emanating you’re your residence in Astoria, New York. The Commission’s records show 
that you are not authorized to operate in the Amateur Radio Services.1
Radio stations operating on many frequencies, including 147.960 MHz, must be licensed by the 
FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.  Thus, this station is operating in violation of 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 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. §§ 401, 501, 503 and 510).
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED 
IMMEDIATELY.
  
1 On April 7, 2016, agents inspected your radio transmitting equipment at your residence and found that you had a 
handheld radio and seven mobile radios programmed to operate on various frequencies in the Personal Radio 
Service, Amateur Radio Service, and Land Mobile Radio Service.  Three of the mobile radios were connected to 
antennas mounted on the rooftop of your residence building.  When agents interviewed you, you admitted to 
operating on 147.96 MHz that evening and not having an amateur license.
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.
You may contact this office if you have any questions.
