FCC agent, and requested to inspect the CB radio station inside the

the CB station belonged to him, but refused to make the station
available for inspection. The agent advised Mr. Winton that the
Commission's Rules require the operator of a CB radio station to make
the station available for inspection. Mr. Winton still refused to make
the station available for inspection. The agent then requested that
Mr. Winton go inside and take the station off the air because it was

the house and the station's transmissions ceased. Mr. Winton returned
and continued to refuse to make the station available for inspection,
