NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDWR-12-00004809
Document Number:  W201332900001
The Los Angeles Office received information that the European Space Agency (ESA) was 
receiving interference to their Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite due to radio 
transmissions in the 1400 -1427 MHz frequency band in Hesperia, CA.  On October 11, 2012, 
agents from this office used direction-finding techniques to locate radio signals operating within 
the 1400-1427 MHz band emanating from several wireless cameras installed at the Q Mart gas 
station at 15853 Main Street, Hesperia, CA.  The Commission’s records show that no license was 
issued for operation of a transmitter at this location on 1400-1427 MHz in Hesperia, CA.
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 of this 
illegal operation to severe penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary 
forfeitures, 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.
