On April 4, 2007, agents of the Commission's Philadelphia Office inspected the low-powered, non-licensed AM broadcast transmitter that Buttner was operating on 1700 kHz at his residence in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, and observed the following violation: 47 C.F.R. S Section 15.219(b): "The total length of the transmission line, antenna and ground lead (if used) shall not exceed 3 meters." At the time of the inspection, the combined length of the antenna and ground lead for Buttner's AM broadcast transmitter was 8.4 meters. The length of the ground lead was 5.8 meters and the length of the antenna was 2.6 meters. 3.

S: 15.209. Further, the station's operation did not comply with the alternative operating requirements for stations operating in the band 510-1705 kHz that are set out in Section 15.219 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. S: 15.219. Specifically, the agents measured the input power to the final radio frequency stage and found it to be 1200 milliwatts, which exceeded the maximum power level of 100 milliwatts permitted under Section 15.219(a). Thus, this station is operating in violation of 47 C.F.R. S: Section 301. You are hereby warned that operation of
