This FCC Notice of Apparent Liability goes to Birach Broadcasting in Youngstown, NY, for failing to enclose antenna structures. When an FCC agent inspected the towers, he observed almost half the fence surrounding a tower was on the ground. When the agent tried to lift the fence they found it difficult because the grass had grown through and around the fence. The agent also found the gate and fencing support posts for the tower had been removed and were lying on the ground. The condition of the fences resulted in unrestricted access to the bases of those antenna structures, both of which had radio frequency potential at their bases.
