On February 1, 2010, an agent of the Commission's New Orleans Office monitored radio station KKND-FM located at Belle Chasse, LA and observed the following violation: a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1680(a): "An emergency antenna is one that is erected for temporary use after the authorized main and auxiliary antennas are damaged and cannot be used." While monitoring KKND-FM, the agent from the New Orleans Office observed the station operating from an emergency antenna for approximately one hour. The station reported it operated from the emergency antenna to conduct maintenance testing. The

By letter dated June 12, 2000, ASD granted Family STA to operate WSTX(AM) with an emergency long-wire antenna with reduced power until December 12, 2000. ASD found that the STA request, although untimely, otherwise met the requirements of Section 73.1680 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'') regarding use of emergency antennas. However, ASD stated that the STA granted for WSTX(AM) did not cover the period between November 18, 1999, and June 12, 2000, and is ``without prejudice as to whatever action the Commission may take with respect to any unauthorized or improper operation of Station WSTX(AM).''

In this Order, we consider Del Rosario Talpa's arguments that its violation was actually of Section 73.1680 of the Rules; that Del Rosario Talpa will have financial difficulty paying the forfeiture amount; and that the forfeiture amount should be reduced based on Del Rosario Talpa's history of compliance with the Commission's Rules.

Thus, the staff found that the Station had not been silent for twelve consecutive months, reinstated the Station's license, and admonished the Licensee for its failure to request authorization for emergency facilities within 24 hours of April 27, 2000. 8.
