FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Enforcement Bureau Spectrum Enforcement Division 1270 Fairfield Road Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325-7245 CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED January 29, 2008 Todd E. Daugherty 800 W Main Cross Taylorville, IL 62568 SUBJECT: Amateur Radio license N9OGL; WARNING NOTICE; Case #EB-07-SE-371 Dear Mr. Daugherty: Information before the Commission indicates that you have been operating an unlicensed radio station on, among other frequencies, 6.950 and 13.556 MHz. The information indicates that the signal strengths of these transmissions exceed the power limit of Part 15 of the Commission's rules for unlicensed transmitters. Your response to the Enforcement Bureau received on November 6, 2007 was insufficient and contradictory, and indicates a misunderstanding of the Part 15 power limits for unlicensed stations. For example, you stated that your power levels were in compliance with Part 15 of the Commission's rules, yet in statements made in 2006 and 2007 describing your shortwave station "Omega One" you stated that you were operating at 5 watts, then 10 watts and later 50 and 100 watts. Such unlicensed operation would be a violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 18 U.S.C. S: 301, and would subject you to a monetary forfeiture (fine) or imprisonment, or both. Forfeitures normally range from $7,500 to $10,000. Furthermore, such operation would reflect adversely on your qualifications to retain an Amateur license. Sincerely, W. Riley Hollingsworth Special Counsel cc: FCC Northeastern Regional Director
