 By  the  Chief,  Enforcement  Bureau: 
 1.  In  this  Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order  (“  Order”),  we  cancel  the  proposed  monetary 
 forfeiture  in  the  amount  of  $7,500  issued  to  Kornwell  Chan,  licensee  of  amateur  radio  station  W3CI,  for 
 apparent  violations  of  Sections  97.101(  a),  97.  101(  d),  97.  113(  a)(  4)  and  97.119(  a)  of  the  Commission’s 
 Rules  (“  Rules”).  1  The  noted  violations  involved  failure  to  operate  an  amateur  radio  station  in  accordance 
 with  good  amateur  practice,  willful  and  malicious  interference  with  radio  communications,  transmitting 
 music  on  amateur  radio  frequencies,  and  transmitting  unidentified  communications  or  signals. 


 2.  On  March  10,  1999,  the  Commission’s  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania  Field  Office  issued  a 
 Notice  of  Apparent  Liability  for  Forfeiture  (“  NAL”)  in  the  amount  of  $7,500  to  Mr.  Chan  for  the  noted 
 violations.  2  On  September  1,  2000,  Mr.  Chan  submitted  his  amateur  license  to  the  Commission  and 
 agreed  not  to  operate  his  amateur  station  until  September  1,  2003.  He  has  not  operated  his  amateur  radio 
 station  since  turning  in  the  license.  In  addition,  Mr.  Chan  has  submitted  financial  data  demonstrating  that 
 he  is  unable  to  pay  the  proposed  forfeiture.  Accordingly,  we  conclude  that  cancellation  of  the  proposed 
 $7,500  forfeiture  is  warranted.
