Section 312(f)(1) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. � 312(f)(1), which applies to violations for which forfeitures are assessed under Section 503(b) of the Act, provides that ``[t]he term `willful,' ... means the conscious and deliberate commission or
status should be monitored at a minimum. Determining proper (daytime/nighttime) mode changes at directional AM sta tions also was suggested, as were readings (such as antenna relative phases and amplitudes) necessary to ensure proper antenna operation. The question was raised as to whether transmitter frequency should be included in the list of important operating parameters. Amendments to Sections 73.1350 and 73.1580 were proposed to state which param eters should be monitored and how the monitoring equip ment should be calibrated and maintained. 28 Notice, paragraphs 25-31. 29 See comments of KIOW (p. 4) which suggested 7-10 min utes.

By the District Director, Seattle Office, Enforcement Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find that Palouse Country, Inc., licensee of radio broadcast station KMAX (AM) in Colfax, Washington has apparently violated Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act'')1 and has apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 73.1400(a)(1)(ii), 73.1560(a), 73.1580, and 73.1870(c)(3) of the Commission's Rules2 by operating the station without required monitors, operating in non-compliance with the station license regarding power, failing to perform periodic complete inspections of the transmitting system, and failing to provide verification that the station has been operating as required by the Rules or the station authorization with appropriate log entries in the station log.

lighting status should be monitored at a minimum. Determining proper (daytime/nighttime) mode changes at directional AM stations also was suggested, as were readings (such as antenna relative phases and amplitudes) necessary to ensure proper antenna operation. The question was raised as to whether transmitter frequency should be included in the list of important operating parameters. Amendments to Sections 73.1350 and 73.1580 were proposed to state which parameters should be monitored and how the monitoring equipment should be calibrated and maintained. The commenters addressing these issues unanimously expressed the belief that monitoring transmitter frequency was unnecessary. Some commenters argued that station modulation need not be constantly monitored. The Commission was urged to exempt all types of broadcast auxiliary stations (FM translators in
