NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number:  EB-FIELDNER-13-00009855
Document Number:  W2013323800044
The New York Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast radio station on 1710
kHz was allegedly operating in Bronx, New York.  On July 18, 2008, agents from this office 
confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 1710 kHz were 
emanating from Iglesia Pentecostal Segunda Mision Jerusalen, Bronx, New York.  The 
Commission’s records show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station on 
1710 kHz at this location in Bronx, New York.
Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.  The only exception to 
this licensing requirement is for certain transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode 
of operation that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the Commission’s rules, 
47 C.F.R. §§ 15.1 et seq.  The field strength of the signal on frequency 1710 kHz was measured 
at 3,100 microvolts per meter (µV/m) at 474 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted 
level of 30 µV/m at 30 meters for non-licensed devices set out in Section 15.209 of the Rules, 47 
C.F.R. § 15.209.  
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.
