                 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

   March 8, 2010

   Mr. Raymond L. Moffatte, Sr.

   (Address withheld)

   RE: WARNING FOR UNLICENSED RADIO OPERATION

   EB-10-GB-0026

   Dear Mr. Moffatte:

   It has come to the attention of the Federal Communications Commission that
   at various times in the last several months you have operated overpowered
   transmitting equipment on 11 meters that has interfered with the consumer
   electronic devices owned and operated by your neighbors.

   The Commission's rules require that you operate your CB station with an
   FCC certified CB transmitter. The rules also prohibit the use of external
   radiofrequency power amplifiers (sometimes called linears or linear
   amplifiers). The rules further provide that use of a non-certified CB
   transmitter and/or a power amplifier voids your authority to operate the
   station."

   Operation of radio transmitting equipment without a valid FCC
   authorization is a violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of
   1934, as amended, and may subject the responsible parties to substantial
   monetary forfeitures,  in rem arrest action against the offending radio
   equipment, and criminal sanctions including imprisonment. Because
   unlicensed operation creates a danger of interference to important radio
   communications services and may subject the operator to severe penalties,
   this warning emphasizes the importance of complying strictly with these
   legal requirements.

   UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST CEASE IMMEDIATELY.

   You have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of this warning to respond
   to this office. The response must contain a statement of the specific
   action(s) taken to bring your CB station into compliance with the
   Commission's rules and should include a time line for completion of
   pending corrective action(s). You are directed to support your response
   with a signed and dated affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury,
   verifying the truth and accuracy of the information submitted in your
   response. Your response should be sent to the following address: 1270
   Fairfield Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325 and reference the listed case number.

   In an inquiry of this type we are required to notify you that under the
   Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. S: 552a(e)(3), the Commission's staff will
   use all relevant information before it, including information you disclose
   in your reply, to determine what, if any, enforcement action is warranted
   in this matter.

   Sincerely,

   Laura L. Smith

   Special Counsel
