CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Public copy

Mr. & Mrs. (names

(address withheld)
Kearneysville, WV 25430
RE: Case #EB-2005-2753
Dear Mr. and Mrs. (name withheld):
The Federal Communications Commission notified you by letter dated June 22, 2005 that it has received complaints of harmful radio interference possibly caused by an electric fence charger at your residence. This interference has been reported by an operator in the Amateur Radio Service. The complainant is:
Mr. (name withheld)
(address withheld)
Kearneysville, WV 25430
In this letter, you were advised that this problem, if unresolved, could be a violation of FCC rules and could result in a monetary forfeiture for each occurrence. For this reason, we encouraged the parties involved to voluntarily resolve this matter without FCC intervention. If however it became necessary to facilitate a resolution, the FCC might investigate possible rules violations and address appropriate remedies, including monetary forfeiture.
You were further advised to inform the complainant within 60 days of what steps you would take to correct this reported interference problem. In addition, if unable to resolve this matter within 60 days, you were advised to inform this office about the nature of the problem, the steps being taken to resolve it and the estimated time in which those steps can be accomplished. According to Mr. Eckles, the harmful interference he reported to this office remains unresolved. Furthermore, you have responded to neither Mr. Eckles nor this office within the specified period of time.
In
order to avoid possible enforcement action, we request that you advise this
office by October 15, 2005 of what action you have made, or intend to make, in
order to correct the source of these radio emissions apparently being caused by
the fence charger at your residence.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at 717-338-2502.
Sincerely,
W. Riley Hollingsworth
Special Counsel
