                  MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

   Adopted: July 28, 2000               Released: August 1, 2000

By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

     1.  This Order ("Order") dismisses as an untimely request for reconsideration a July 14, 2000, letter
(received July 15, 2000) from Robert King, pursuant to section 405(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act"), and 1.106(f) of the Commission's rules. 

                                BACKGROUND

     2.  By letter dated May 17, 2000, styled "Formal Complaint," Mr. King requested that the Commission
revoke the licenses for stations KHSN and KBBR.  Mr. King alleged that New Northwest II, Inc. ("NN II"),
licensee of station KBBR, was "housing" an "illegal radio station, KHSN," licensed to Bay Broadcasting
Corporation ("Bay").  Specifically, Mr. King contended that KHSN's use of a long wire antenna attached to
KBBR's tower rendered both stations illegal.  By letter dated June 5, 2000, the Chief, Investigations and
Hearings Division, dismissed Mr. King's complaint.  The letter noted that, on April 5, 2000, Bay had received
special temporary authorization ("STA") to use the long wire antenna and had received authority to locate the
KHSN antenna on the KBBR tower.

     3.  In his July 14, 2000, submission, Mr. King repeats the allegations made in his May 17, 2000,
complaint and reiterates his request for revocation of the KHSN license.  He also appears to argue that Bay's
actions are analogous to those of "pirate" station operators and warrant the same treatment.  Finally, Mr. King
charges that KHSN "was operated in violation of the most basic standards of safety." 
     
                           DISCUSSION

     4.  Section 405(a) of the Act, 47 U.S.C.  405(a) provides that a petition for reconsideration must be
filed within 30 days from the date of public notice of the final action.  In this case, public notice occurred on
June 5, 2000, upon the mailing of our letter dismissing Mr. King's complaint.  See section 1.4(b)(5) of the
Commission's rules.  Thus, to have been timely, any request for reconsideration was due no later than July 5,
2000.  Mr. King's submission occurred on July 15, 2000, ten days late.  Accordingly, dismissal is warranted. 
See Washington Broadcast Management Co., Inc., FCC 00-127, released April 10, 2000.  Moreover, Mr.
King's other arguments have been considered previously and warrant no further discussion or action. 

                        ORDERING CLAUSES

     5.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to section 405(a) of the Act, and section 1.106(f) of the
Commission's rules, that the letter dated July 14, 2000, by Robert King is considered as a petition for
reconsideration and IS DISMISSED. 

     6.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that copies of this Order shall be sent by Certified Mail Return
Receipt Requested to Mr. Robert King, 301 Newbury Street, #185, Danvers, Massachusetts 01923; Bay
Broadcasting Corporation, in care of Howard J. Braun, Esq., Rosenman & Colin, LLP, 805 15th Street, N.W.,
