violations:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 17.50(a):  “Antenna structures requiring painting under

observed that the paint on the antenna structure was faded and 
chipped.
b. 47 C.F.R. § 73.49: “Antenna towers having radio frequency potential 
at the base (series fed, folded unipole, and insulated base antennas) 
must be enclosed with effective locked fences or other enclosures.  
Ready access must be provided to each antenna tower base for meter 
reading and maintenance purposes at all times.  However, individual 
tower fences need not be installed if the towers are contained within 
a protective property fence” The agents observed that the tower was 
enclosed by a fence that had an entrance gate with a working lock.  
At the time of inspection, however, the entrance gate was open 
allowing access to the tower base.
