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 Providence Alaska Medical Center (“Providence”), licensee of private land 
mobile radio station, WPUQ810 in Anchorage, Alaska.
2. On March 17, 2011, in response to a complaint, an agent from the Anchorage Resident 
Agent Office, investigated the WPUQ810 operations at 1700 Hillcrest Drive, Anchorage, Alaska, and 
observed the following violations:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 90.210(b)(3):  “Except as indicated elsewhere in this part, 
transmitters used in the radio services governed by this part must comply 
with the emission masks outlined in the section.  …[T]he power of any 
emission must be attenuated below the unmodulated carrier output power (P) 
... On any frequency removed from the center of the authorized bandwidth by 
more than 250 percent of the authorized bandwidth:  At least 43 + 10 log(P) 
dB.”  At the time of the investigation, the Anchorage agent observed 
spurious emissions centered around 72.06 MHz that exceeded the required 
emission mask.
b. 47 C.F.R. § 1.903(a):  “Stations in the Wireless Radio Services must be used 
and operated only in accordance with the rules applicable to their particular 
service as set forth in this title and with a valid authorization granted by the 
Commission under the provisions of this part, except as specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section.”  Pursuant to the WPUQ810 authorization, 
operation on 72.06 MHz is limited to mobile operations with an output power 
of one watt.  At the time of the investigation, the agent observed that 
Providence was operating on 72.06 MHz at a fixed location and with an 
output power in excess of one watt.
