ORDER
Adopted:  October 6, 2016 Released: October 7, 2016
By the Deputy Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
1. Introduction.  As set forth below, we conclude that the licenses for the above-captioned 
stations (Stations) licensed to Spectrum 100, LLC (Spectrum 100), Western Spectrum Ventures, LLC 
(Western Spectrum), and Eagle Group PMA (Eagle Group) (collectively, Licensees) have automatically 
terminated for permanent discontinuance of operation.  Consequently, we will modify the Commission’s 
licensing records to reflect the cancellation of the licenses.
2. Background.  On November 5, 2014, the Licensees were granted the licenses for trunked 
800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) Stations WQUX289 (licensed to Spectrum 100), WQUX292 
(licensed to Western Spectrum), and WQUX293 (licensed to Eagle Group), all at the following two 
locations:  N5815 CTY U, Portage, Wisconsin, and W5389 Fairview Road, Monticello, Wisconsin.1 On 
November 2, 2015, the Licensees filed notifications indicating that the station facilities had been timely 
constructed.2
3. In April 2016, Smartcomm, LLC, filed an informal request for investigation regarding the 
veracity of the construction notifications.3 The request includes a declaration of an employee of a 
Smartcomm affiliate, who stated that she performed a physical site inspection at both locations and 
observed no antennas mounted on towers at the authorized location and height, and that no building 
permits were filed with the county offices for either location.4 The declaration included photographs 
showing no antennas mounted at the Stations’ authorized location and height.
4. In August 2016, the Spectrum Enforcement Division of the Commission’s Enforcement

2 See FCC File Nos. 0007010119 (WQUX289), 0007009097 (WQUX292), 0007009138 (WQUX293).

LLC, WQUX290; Janus Spectrum Group, LLC, WQUX291; Western Spectrum Ventures, LLC, WQUX292; Eagle 
Group PMA, WQUX293; TD Spectrum, LLC, WQUX294 (filed Apr. 5, 2016).

Bureau, acting pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,5 requested 
that the Licensees provide specified information concerning the construction and operational status of the 
Stations.6 In response, the Licensees reported, inter alia, that the Stations had not been operational since 
November 2015.7
5. Discussion.  Section 90.631(f) of the Commission's rules provides that the license for a 
trunked SMR station cancels automatically if the station is not placed in permanent operation, in 
accordance with the licensed parameters, within one year of license grant; or if the facilities have 
discontinued operation for ninety continuous days (unless the licensee notifies the Commission prior to 
the end of the ninety-day period and provides a date on which operation will resume, which must not be 
in excess of thirty additional days).8  
6. The information provided by the Licensees is sufficient evidence that the Stations have 
not been in operation for ninety continuous days, and that their authorizations canceled automatically.9  
Therefore, we will update the Commission’s Universal Licensing System to reflect the cancellation of the 
licenses for Stations WQUX289, WQUX292, and WQUX293.  We need not resolve whether the Stations 
were timely placed in permanent operation.
7. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 154(i), and Section 90.631(f) of the Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. 
§ 90.631(f), the Commission’s licensing records SHALL BE MODIFIED to reflect the cancellation of the 
licenses for Stations WQUX289, WQUX292, and WQUX293.
8. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the 
Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.131, 0.331.
