2. On March 31, 2016, in response to a complaint of interference from a co-channel 
licensee, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau’s Los Angeles Office monitored radio station WQIG614, in 
Los Angeles, California, and observed the following violations:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 90.403(c): “Except for stations that have been granted exclusive 
channels under this part and that are classified as commercial mobile radio 
service providers pursuant to Part 20 of this chapter, each licensee must 
restrict all transmissions to the minimum practical transmission time and 
must employ an efficient operating procedure designed to maximize the 
utilization of the spectrum.” At the time of the investigation, agents observed 
that WQIG614 was transmitting on 451.7875 MHz nearly continuously for 
over 20 minutes.
