NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
Case Number: EB-05-
DV-076
Document Number: W20053280003
The Denver Office received information that an unlicensed
broadcast radio station on 106.7 MHz was allegedly operating in
Heber City, Utah. On June 28, 2005, an agent from this office
confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on
frequency 106.7 MHz were emanating from a building on 910 South
in Heber City, Utah. The Commission's records show that no
license has been issued for operation of a broadcast station at
this location on 106.7 MHz in Heber City, Utah.
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 that
complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.1 et seq. A Denver agent
measured the field strength of the signal on frequency 106.7 MHz
at 9,233 microvolts per meter (µV/m) at 3 meters, exceeding the
maximum permitted level of 250 µV/m at 3 meters for a non-
licensed device. Thus, this station is operating in violation
of 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 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.

District Director
Denver Office
