                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: January 27, 2012

   By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Northeast Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to QC Communications, Inc., licensee of
       AM Station WFAI in Salem, New Jersey.

    2. On October 26, 2011, and October 28, 2011, agents of the Commission's
       Philadelphia Office inspected Station WFAI located in Salem, New
       Jersey and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.3526(e)(12): "Radio issues/programs lists. For
        commercial AM and FM broadcast stations, every three months a list of
        programs that have provided the station's most significant treatment
        of community issues during the preceding three month period. The list
        for each calendar quarter is to be filed by the tenth day of the
        succeeding calendar quarter (e.g., January 10 for the quarter
        October-December, April 10 for the quarter January-March, etc.). The
        list shall include a brief narrative describing what issues were
        given significant treatment and the programming that provided this
        treatment. The description of the programs shall include, but shall
        not be limited to, the time, date, duration, and title of each
        program in which the issue was treated." At the time of inspection,
        the WFAI public inspection file was missing the radio issues/programs
        lists for the 4th Quarter 2009 and 4th Quarter of 2010.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1590(d): "Equipment Performance Measurements - The
        data required by paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, together
        with a description of the equipment and procedures used in making the
        measurements, signed and dated by the qualified person(s) making the
        measurements, must be kept on file at the transmitter or remote
        control point for a period of 2 years, and on request must be made
        available during that time to duly authorized representatives of the
        FCC." The latest equipment performance measurements for Station WFAI
        were not available at the time of the inspection.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.35(a): "EAS Participants must determine the cause of
        any failure to receive the required tests or activations specified in
        Sections 11.61(a)(1) and (a)(2). Appropriate entries indicating
        reasons why any tests were not received or sent must be made in the
        broadcast station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840 of
        this chapter for all broadcast streams . . . . " At the time of the
        inspection, the agent found that there were no entries in the station
        logs indicating why tests had not been received from the station's
        monitoring sources for the period between August 1, 2011 and October
        26, 2011.

     d. 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 agents determined that Station WFAI
        was monitoring only one of its assigned EAS sources.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, QC
       Communications, Inc. must submit a written statement concerning this
       matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response
