NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released:  January 8, 2010
By the Resident Agent, Anchorage Resident Agent Office, Western Region, Enforcement Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the 
Commission’s Rules,1 to Fairbanks Fuel Co Inc (Fairbanks Fuel), licensee of radio station WPWH474 in 
Fairbanks, Alaska.
2. On November 10, 2009, and November 12, 2009, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau’s 
Anchorage Resident Agent Office monitored the radio frequency 159.495 MHz and observed various 
communications involving fuel deliveries in and around the Fairbanks area.  The communications 
involved both mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-office (base) transmissions.  Research of Commission 
records finds that Fairbanks Fuel is the only licensed user of the frequency 159.495 MHz in the area.  The 
following violations were observed:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 1.903(b): “The holding of an authorization does not create any 
rights beyond the terms, conditions and period specified in the 
authorization.”  Fairbanks Fuel’s authorization, WPWH474, authorizes only 
mobile stations on the frequencies 159.495 MHz and 159.540 MHz.  
WPWH474 does not authorize the use of a base station.
b. 47 C.F.R. § 90.425(a): “Stations licensed under this part . . . shall be 
identified by the transmission of the assigned call sign during each 
transmission or exchange of transmissions, or once each 15 minutes . . . 
during periods of continuous operation.”  During the monitoring and 
observation period by the Anchorage agent, on November 10, 2009, 
approximately 1:15 PM through 2:10 PM (AST), with various 
communications, and on November 12, 2009, approximately 4:55 PM 
through 5:30 PM (AST), with various communications, no call sign was 
transmitted.
