NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: March 5, 2010
By the District Director, Los Angeles 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 Independent Taxi Owners Association, licensee of radio station WQKD673, Los 
Angeles, California.
2. On, February 11, 2010, an agent from the Enforcement Bureau’s Los Angeles Office 
investigated a complaint of interference on the frequency of 461.925 MHz in the Los Angeles, California, 
area and observed the following violations:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 90.403(e): “Licensees shall take reasonable precautions to avoid 
causing harmful interference. This includes monitoring the transmitting 
frequency for communications in progress and such other measures as may 
be necessary to minimize the potential for causing interference.” At the time 
of the investigation, the station WQKD673 transmitter at 2050 Cyprian 
Drive, Los Angeles, was transmitting a digitally modulated continuous 
signal, on 461.925 MHz, a frequency shared with other licensees in the Los 
Angeles area. These transmissions were without breaks for several hours, 
creating the potential for interference and preventing the effective sharing of 
the frequency with other licensed users. 
b. 47 C.F.R. § 90.425(a):  “Except as provided for in paragraphs (d) and (e) of 
this section, each station or system shall be identified by the transmission of 
the assigned call sign during each transmission or exchange of transmissions, 
or once each 15 minutes (30 minutes in the Public Safety Pool) during 
periods of continuous operation.”  At the time of the investigation, the 
  
1 47 C.F.R. § 1.89.
