1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the

Station KB74568 in San Diego, California.  
2. On May 22, 2012, in response to a complaint of interference, an agent of the 
Enforcement Bureau's San Diego Office used radio direction finding techniques to locate the 
interference source to a transmitter owned and operated by Rick Engineering in Del Sur, a new 
development area in San Diego, California.  The agent conducted on/off tests and confirmed that

464.700 MHz, a frequency not authorized by the license for Radio Station 
KB74568.
