        KHz, 388 Hz above tolerance.

    3. On January 17, 2012 an agent of the Commission's Atlanta Office
       inspected radio station WDGR, Dahlonega, GA. and observed the
       following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1870(a): "The licensee of each AM...broadcast station
        must designate a person to serve as the station's chief
        operator...The designation of the chief operator must be in writing
        with a copy of the designation posted with the station license."
        There was no written designation of chief operator at the station.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.3526(e)(8), (e)(12), : "Contents of the file. The
        material[s] to be retained in the public inspection file [are]...(8)
        The public and broadcasting. At all times, a copy of the most recent
        version of the manual entitled "The Public and Broadcasting... (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

        log...showing the date and time the equipment was removed and
        restored to service." During the inspection, the chief operator

        provisions of this part, must accurately reflect the station
        operation. Any employee making a log entry shall sign the log,
        thereby attesting to the fact that the entry, or any correction or
        addition made thereto, is an accurate representation of what
