NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: October 4, 2010
By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Northeast Region, Enforcement Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation (“Notice”) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the 
Commission’s Rules1 to Spotts, Sevens and McCoy, Inc. (“SSM”), the licensee of radio 
station WPWV610 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania.  
2. On September 17, 2010 in response to a complaint of harmful interference, an agent of 
the Commission’s Philadelphia Office inspected radio station WPWV610 located at the 
BFI landfill in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, and observed the following violation:
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, SSM was 
operating a Trimble Trimmate III and transmitting a digitally 
modulated signal on 461.025 MHz.  There was no evidence that the 
station was monitoring for communications in progress, which 
created the potential for interference and prevented the effective 
sharing of the frequency with other licensed users.  
3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,2 and 
Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, SSM must submit a written statement 
concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice.  The response 
must fully explain each violation, must contain a statement of the specific action(s) taken 
to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and should include a time line for 
completion of pending corrective action(s).  The response must be complete in itself and 
signed by a principal or officer of the licensee.  All replies and documentation sent in 
  
1 47 C.F.R. § 1.89.
2 47 U.S.C. § 308(b).
