       of radio station WNTF (AM).

    2. On February 17, 2006, agents of the Commission's Tampa Office of the
       Enforcement Bureau inspected radio station WNTF (AM) located in
       Bithlo, Florida and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 11.52(d): "Broadcast stations and cable systems and
        wireless

   cable systems must monitor two EAS sources. The monitoring assignments of
   each broadcast station and cable system and wireless cable system are
   specified in the State EAS Plan and FCC Mapbook." At the time of
   inspection the station was monitoring only one of the assigned EAS
   sources.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 11.61(a): EAS "[t]ests shall be made at regular intervals
        as

   indicated in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section." There was no
   evidence that required monthly EAS tests are being conducted and no
   evidence that required weekly tests were conducted prior to February 10,
   2006.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1350 (c)(2): "Monitoring equipment must be
        periodically calibrated so as to provide reliable indications of
        transmitter operating parameters with a known degree of accuracy.
        At the time of inspection there was no evidence that the station was
        conducting periodic calibration of monitoring equipment.

     d. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1590: "(a) The licensee of each AM, FM, TV and Class A
        TV

   station ...  must make equipment performance measurements for each main
   transmitter as follows: ... (6) [a]nnually, for AM stations, with not more
   than 14 months between measurements."  The equipment performance
   measurements were not available and there was no evidence that they had
   ever been conducted.

     e. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1800 (a): "The licensee of each station must maintain
        a

   station log as required by 73.1820." No station log was available at the
   time of inspection.

     f. 47 C.F.R. S 73.3526(e)(13): "Local public notice announcements." No

   record of local public notice announcements were found in the Public File
   at the time of  inspection.

        commercial or

   noncommercial AM, FM, TV or International broadcast station shall file

   with the FCC copies of the following contracts..." "Time brokerage
   agreements (also known as local marketing agreements)." The station failed
   to submit copy of local marketing agreement within 30 days of execution of
   the agreement. The agreement in question was executed on November 15,
   2005.
