NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Released: August 5, 2011
By the District Director, Columbia 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 Redi-Call Communications Company
("Redi-Call"), licensee of radio station KUS359 in Georgetown,
Delaware.
2. On July 27, 2011, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Columbia Office
investigated a complaint of interference from the Federal Aviation
Administration to frequencies in the aviation band affecting flight
operations on the east coast. Using mobile direction finding
techniques, the agent located the source of the interference to a
paging transmitter located at the Dorchester Memorial Hospital in
Cambridge, Maryland. The agent observed the following violation:
47 C.F.R. S: 1.903(a): "Stations in the Wireless Radio Service must be
used and operated only in accordance with the rules applicable to their
particular service as set forth in this title and with a valid
authorization granted by the Commission under the provisions of this part,
except as specified in the Section 1.903(b)." At the time of the
investigation, the transmitter owned and operated by Redi-Call was
emitting a spurious signal on 132.950 MHz, a frequency not authorized by
the KUS359 license.
3. Pursuant to section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
and section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, Redi-Call must submit a
written statement concerning this matter within 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 an officer of
Redi-Call. All replies and documentation sent in response to this
Notice should be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above,
