                                 Released:  October 25, 2005

By the Resident Agent, San Juan Office, South Central 
Region, Enforcement Bureau:

   1.     This is a Notice of Violation (``Notice'') issued 
     pursuant to Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules1 to 
     A Radio Company, Inc., licensee of radio station WEGA, 
     Vega Baja, Puerto Rico.

   2.     On August 25, 2005, in response to a complaint, an 
     agent of the Commission's San Juan Office of the 
     Enforcement Bureau inspected the main studio for AM 
     station WEGA and observed the following violations:

   2.a.      47 C.F.R. § 11.35(a): ``Broadcast stations 
             and cable systems and wireless cable 
             systems are responsible for ensuring that 
             EAS Encoders, EAS Decoders and Attention 
             Signal generating and receiving equipment 
             used as part of the EAS are installed so 
             that the monitoring and transmitting 
             functions are available during the times 
             the stations and systems are in 
             operation.'' 
         
             During the inspection the operator had no 
             knowledge on how to activate the Emergency 
             Alert System (``EAS'') equipment.  The 
             equipment was improperly installed, so the 
             transmitting function was not operational.  

   2.b.      Section 73.1870(a) ``The licensee of each 
             AM, FM, TV or Class A TV broadcast station 
             must designate a person to serve as the 
             station's chief operator.''

             A copy of the designation letter was not posted 
             at the station with the station license.

   3.     Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications 
     Act of 1934, as amended,2 and Section 1.89 of the 
     Commission's Rules, A Radio Company, Inc. must submit a 
     written statement concerning this matter within twenty 
     (20) days of release of this Notice.  The response must 
     fully explain each violation, must contain a statement 
     of the specific action(s) taken to correct each 
     violation and preclude recurrence, and should include a 
     time line for completion of pending corrective 
     action(s).  The response must be complete in itself and 
     signed by a principal or officer of the licensee.  All 
     replies and documentation sent in response to this 
     Notice should be marked with the File No. and NOV No. 
     specified above, and mailed to the following address:

   4.     This Notice shall be sent to A Radio Company, Inc. 
     at its address of record.

   5.     The Privacy Act of 19743 requires that we advise 
     you that the Commission will use all relevant material 
     information before it, including any information 
     disclosed in your reply, to determine what, if any,
