The fact of the matter is, there are only a super
small percentage of truckers on hammie bands.
They are not responsible for any enforcement
"emphasis". In fact, the only "emphasis" appears
to stem from self appointed radio kopps on patrol.

There is no real "emphasis" on anything at the FCC.
Compare the stats from last year, or the year before,
or the year before that. The hammie busts are the
same, the unlicensed busts didn't budge,
and the only FCC radio related enforcements that
have increase in any manner is the amount of fines
levied against commercial radio stations.

Freebanders do not intrude on hammie bands.
Since there are so many hellbent on painting
freebanders with a wide brush, this
would be a good time to educate you on that of
which you are so deluded. Freebanders, at least
the ones I have come across and associated with
since the seventies, are for the most part,
meticulous operators who are very polite and are
comprised of operators, both licensed and
non-licensed, from around the world.

They are for the most part, courteous and
non-intrusive and do NOT intrude on hammie bands,
despite your best attempts at presenting them in
the same light as hammie band invaders.

Parts of 11 meter ARE licensed to various entities
who have chosen to abandon their choice of spectrum.

Same as a vacant lot..cops drive by and see a
bunch of kids playing football or baseball in a vacant
lot,,,yes, the cops know they can technically arrest
the kids for trespassing, yet they use their sound
judgement, as the children are not damaging
anything andthe owner did not compaint, no
action is taken.

You are akin to the little old lady who watches
unsupervised children playing a sandlot game and
continuously calls the cops about the noise
they are making (children laughing) and the
remote possibility that your window MAY get broken.

Thank GOD the FCC adopted a sane approach to
such activities and does not share your position.

The 'cancer" is in self-appointed monitors like
yourself. You're still ****ed 'cause we can DX
HF and you're stuck on your self-ruined freqs.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
ENFORCEMENT BUREAU
ATLANTA OFFICE

March 19, 2004

CB Sales and Service
FILE No.: EB-04-AT-024
ATTN: Mr. Jim Norton
Sent via Certified
190E Lenlock Lane
Return Receipt requested and
Anniston, AL 36206
First Class mail

CITATION
No.: C200432480001 Released: March 19, 2004
By the Enforcement Bureau, Atlanta Office

1. This is an Official Citation issued pursuant to
Section 503(b) of The Communications Act of 1934, as amended
(``Act'', 1 to Mr. Jim Norton, owner of CB Sales and
Service, Anniston, Alabama, for violation of Section 302(b)
of the Act, 2 and Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Commission's
Rules.3

2. An investigation by the FCC's Atlanta Office
revealed that on March 11, 2004, you offered for sale at your
retail store located at 190E Lenlock Lane, Anniston, Alabama,
eight models of non-certified Citizens Band transceivers,
namely, a Galaxy model DX66V, a Galaxy model DX 73V, a Galaxy
model 48T Big Rig Series, a Galaxy model DX88HL, and a
Galaxy model DX77HML, a Galaxy DX44V, Galaxy DX33HML, and
Galaxy model DX99V. According to Commission's records, these
devices have not received an FCC equipment authorization
which is required for Citizens Band transmitters marketed in
the United States. Furthermore, these devices bore no FCC
equipment authorization labeling that is required for
Citizens Band transceivers marketed in the United States.4

3. Section 302(b) of the Act provides ``{n}o person
shall manufacture, import, sell, offer for sale, or ship
devices or home electronic equipment and systems, or use
devices, which fail to comply with regulations promulgated
pursuant to this section.'' Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Rules
provides that ``...no person shall sell or lease, or offer
for sale or lease (including advertising for sale or lease),
or import, ship or distribute for the purpose of selling or
leasing or offering for sale or lease, any radio frequency
device unless: (1) In the case of a device subject to
certification, such device has been authorized by the
Commission in accordance with the rules in this chapter and
is properly identified and labeled...''
Jim Norton's CB Sales and Service's offer for sale of these
devices violates both sections.

4. Additionally, dual use CB and amateur radios of the
kind at issue here may not be certificated under the
Commission's rules. Section 95.655(a) of the rules states:
``...
({CB} Transmitters with frequency capability for the Amateur
Radio Services....will not be
certificated.)'' See also FCC 88-256, 1988 WL 488084 (August
17, 1988). This clarification was added to explicitly
foreclose the possibility of certification of dual use CB and
amateur radios, see id., and thereby deter use by CB
operators of frequencies allocated for amateur radio use.
Five of the Galaxy model CB transceivers previously mentioned
were identified as having the modification done to enable
dual use of CB and amateur frequencies. These units were
Galaxy DX66V; Galaxy DX73V; Galaxy DX48T; Galaxy DX88HL; and
Galaxy DX77HML.

5. Furthermore, the Commission has revised Section
2.1204(a)(5) of its rules to prohibit all marketing and/or
offering for sale in the United States of such devices even
when the purchaser(s) had provided assurances that the
transceivers are being bought solely for export. ALL
DOMESTIC MARKETING OF SUCH DEVICES VIOLATES THE
COMMUNICATIONS ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED, AND THE COMMISSION'S
RULES.

6. Subsequent violations of the Communications Act or
of the Comission's Rules may subject the violator to
substantial monetary forfeitures not to exceed $11,000
foreach such violation or each day of a continuing violation,
seizure of equipment through in rem forfeiture action, and
criminal sanctions including imprisonment.

7. Mr. Jim Norton may request a personal interview at
the closest FCC location to its place of business, namely:

Federal Communications Commission
3575 Koger Blvd., Suite 320
Duluth, GA 30096

which can be contacted by telephone at 770-935-3370. Any
written statement should specify what actions have been taken
to correct the violation outlined above. When corresponding
with the Commission, case number EB-04-AT-024 should be
referenced.

8. Any statement or information provided may be used by
the Commission to determine if further enforcement action is
required. Any knowingly or willfully false statement made in
reply to this notice is punishable by fine or imprisonment.

Mr Norton's problem was he should have sold
these on e-Bay like everyone else does instead
of having them sitting there behind a glass case
in his store. I mean, how stupid can someone be?

hi leland..i like twistedhed but you must love him to forge him like this..

Jim(3carroll@optonline noticed:
i didn't see any reference to freeband freq's just mention of amateur
freq's. wonder if the the fcc is avoiding the gray area concerning
freebanding in this case.

That wouldn't make any difference, would it?

(Jerry) replied:

They are making their case against the sale
and use of these so-called "export" radios
inside the USA. Actually, it WAS the issue of
unlicensed users of the Amateur bands that
caused the curent enforcement emphasis.




Actually, Riley was a quoted on several occasions as saying hammie
*complaints* and local jurisdictions (in regards to HR #whatever)
being
informed of their ability to react to interference was the catalyst. I
know you have this thing about truckers interfering on hammie bands,
but
the fact of the matter is, a super small percentage of truckers on
hammie bands
was not responsible for any enforcement "emphasis". In fact, the only
"emphasis" appears to stem from self appointed radio kopps on patrol.
The FCC merely follows up on well worded complaints that have shown
good
cause. In fact, there is no real "emphasis" on anything at the FCC,
despite your recent contributions. Compare the stats from last year,
or
the year before, or the year before that. The hammie busts are the
same,
the unlicensed busts didn't budge, and the only FCC radio related
enforcements that have increase in any manner is the amount of fines
levied against commercial radio stations.




Had the "freebanders" stayed out of the ham
bands, I doubt there would be an eyebrow
raised.




Your hardon for freebanders is showing, Jerry. Freebanders do not
intrude on hammie bands,,,in the same manner you are loathe to call
one
who has a nocode call and acts the ass on usenet and on the air a true
hammie, many operate and feel the same for the term of freebander,
myslef included. Since there are so many, yourself at the foreforont,
hellbent on painting freebanders with a wide brush, this would be a
good
time to educate you on that of which you are so deluded.
Freebanders, at least the ones I have come across and associated with
since the seventies, are for the most part, meticulous operators who
are
very polite and are comprised of operators, both licensed and
non-licensed, from around the world. They are for the most part,
courteous and non-intrusive. and do NOT intrude on hammie bands,
despite
your best attempts at presenting them in the same light as hammie band
invaders. Shame on you for your intentional deceit. You seem a little
put out lately, Jerry. Everything ok?



When the folks start
treading on licensed spectrum, THAT is what
causes the ruckus.
