Report No. WT 98-21               WIRELESS TELECOM ACTION           July 8, 1998

INITIAL DECISION DENYING APPLICATION OF HERBERT L. SCHOENBOHM TO
                RENEW AMATEUR LICENSE AFFIRMED 
                       (WT DOCKET 95-11)

     The Commission has upheld the Supplemental Initial Decision of Administrative Law
Judge Edward Luton which denied the application of Herbert L. Schoenbohm to renew his
amateur licenses.  

     The ALJ found that Schoenbohm engaged in misrepresentation and lacked candor in his
testimony concerning his felony telephone toll fraud conviction and a designated issue
regarding solicitation of ex parte presentations.  Schoenbohm was convicted for fraudently
using a counterfeit access device to obtain long distance telephone service.  The Commission
found his behavior, in combination with the fraud conviction, justified non-renewal of
Schoenbohm's licenses. 

     Action by the Commission June 29, 1998, by Decision (FCC 98-139).   Chairman
Kennard, Commissioners Ness, Furchtgott-Roth, Powell and Tristani.
