                  VIA CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

   September 28, 2009

   Mr. (Name withheld)

   (Address withheld)

   Marstons Mills, MA 02648

   Re: EB-09-GB-0249

   Dear Mr. Bevis:

   On April 18, 2006, the Federal Communications Commission notified you that
   it had received complaints from (name withheld) that your electric fence
   might be causing harmful radio interference to his amateur radio
   equipment. (Name withheld)'s contact information is as follows:

   (Name withheld)

   (Address withheld)

   Marstons Mills, MA 02648

   Tel: (Number withheld)

   The April 18, 2006 letter advised you that the interference, if
   unresolved, could be a violation of Commission rules. For this reason, we
   encouraged you to voluntarily resolve the matter without Commission
   intervention. The letter specifically stated, however, that if it became
   necessary for the Commission to facilitate a resolution, the Commission
   might investigate possible rule violations and address appropriate
   remedies, including monetary forfeitures. Commission records indicate that
   you spoke with my predecessor, Riley Hollingsworth, regarding the matter.
   During the course of that conversation, it was agreed that when the
   interference occurred, (name withheld) would contact you and you would
   either clear the weeds or shut down the fence until you could locate and
   resolve the interference. (Name withheld) reports that the interference
   has begun again and he has called you several times without a response.
   Pursuant to your agreement with the Commission, this letter serves to
   notify you that you must take the steps necessary to either resolve the
   interference or shut off the fence.

   In order to avoid enforcement action on this matter, you have thirty (30)
   days from the date of receipt of this warning to respond to this office at
   the following address: 1270 Fairfield Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325. The
   response must contain a statement of the specific action(s) you have taken
   to eliminate the source(s) of (name withheld)'s radio interference. If you
   have any questions about this matter, please contact me at 717-338-2577.

   Sincerely,

   Laura L. Smith, Esq.

   Special Counsel

   Enforcement Bureau
