Radio stations operating on a range of frequencies,
1
including 93.3 MHz, 106.3 MHz, and 
106.5 MHz, must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to Section 301 of the Communications Act of 
1934, as amended (Act).
2
  The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain 
transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation that complies with the 
standards established in Part 15 of the Commission’s rules.
3
Agents measured the field strength 
of the signal on the frequency on which each unlicensed station was operating and found that it 
exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 µV/m at 3 meters for non-licensed devices.  Thus, 
these four stations were operating in violation of Section 301 of the Act.
4
  
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 will subject the 
operator to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, in rem seizure of the offending radio 
equipment without further notice, substantial fines, and criminal sanctions, including 
imprisonment.
5
  
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THESE RADIO STATIONS 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 number.  Under the Privacy Act of 1974,
6
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.
