On July 10, 2012, an agent from this office responded to a complaint concerning interference on 
the frequency 155.295 MHz in Brooklyn, New York.  Using direction finding techniques, the 
agent determined that radio signals on 155.295 MHz were emanating from the Bensonhurst 
Volunteer Ambulance Service located at 1564 Bath Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. The 
Commission’s records show that no license was issued for operation of a land mobile station on 
155.295 MHz at this location in Brooklyn, New York.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.  You are hereby warned 
that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid radio station authorization 
constitutes a violation of the Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator to severe 
penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines, in rem arrest action against 
the offending radio equipment, and criminal sanctions including imprisonment.  (see 47 U.S.C. 
§§ 401, 501, 503 and 510).
UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED 
IMMEDIATELY.
You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any evidence that you have 
authority to operate granted by the FCC.  Your response should be sent to the address in the 
letterhead and reference the listed case and document number.  Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 
U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission’s staff will use all relevant 
material information before it to determine what, if any, enforcement action is required to ensure 
your compliance with FCC Rules.  This will include any information that you disclose in your 
reply.
You may contact this office if you have any questions.
