 NOTICE  OF  UNLICENSED  OPERATION 
 Case  Number:  EB-  05-  AN-  055  Document  Number:  W20053278001 


 While  monitoring  the  FM  broadcast  band  an  agent  from  the  Anchorage  Resident  Agent  Office  monitored  and  subsequently  located  the  signal  of  an  unlicensed  broadcast  radio  station  on  95.5  MHz  emanating  from 
 your  residence  in  Anchorage,  Alaska.  On  June  6,  2005,  the  agent  confirmed  by  direction  finding  techniques  that  a  radio  signal  on  frequency  95.5  MHz  was  emanating  from  this  location  in  Anchorage, 
 Alaska.  The  Commission’s  records  show  no  license  issued  for  operation  of  a  broadcast  station  at  this  location  on  95.5  MHz  in  Anchorage,  Alaska. 


 Radio  stations  must  be  licensed  by  the  FCC  pursuant  to  47  U.  S.  C.  §  301.  The  only  exception  to  this  licensing  requirement  is  for  certain  transmitters  using  or  operating  at  a  power  level  that  complies  with  the 
 standards  established  in  Part  15  of  the  Commission’s  rules,  47  C.  F.  R.  §§  15.1  et  seq.  Your  operation  on  frequency  95.5  MHz  measured  6300  microvolts  per  meter  (µV/  m)  at  70  meters.  This  exceeds  the 
 allowable  unlicensed  limit  of  250  µV/  m  at  3  meters  established  in  Part  15.  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  of  this 
 illegal  operation  to  severe  penalties,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  substantial  monetary  forfeitures,  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. 


 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.
