N8WWM continues to badger people on this forum for their subject choice,
telling them they are illegal. However, when his own hypocritical
behavior is illustrated, N8WWM lies, claiming he never committed any
violations. Well, here is the letter from the FCC not only claiming
Adair committed violations, but also have in their possession taped
recordings of Adair's multiple offenses and violations.
_

Dear Mr. Lagger:
Our records indicate that you are the trustee for the above repeater
system. Enclosed are recordings of violations on the repeater by N8WWM.
The
transmissions continued for a considerable time and there was no
evidence
of a control operator.
Since you are the trustee for the repeater, it is important for you to
understand that you are responsible for its proper operation. The
decision
to operate a repeater is a totally voluntarily one. Repeaters are a
convenience in the Amateur Radio Service, not a necessity. A repeater is
a
station just like any other station; and under Section 97.205 of the
Commission's rules, all stations must have a licensee and control
operator.
Under Sections 97.103(a) and 97.105, control operators must ensure the
immediate proper operation of a station, regardless of the type of
station
control. Furthermore, "automatic" control does not mean "unattended"
operation. Unattended operation is not authorized under the rules.
The repeater licensee/trustee is responsible for all recurring
violations
and violations that are not inadvertent, just as a licensee is
responsible
for a base station HF station operation in the licensee's home. You must
prevent recurring and deliberate violations on the repeater by locking
rule
violators out, using tones, warning users, limiting its operation, or
taking whatever steps necessary commensurate with your responsibility as
the licensee of the station. If you are unable to do so, then you must
shut
down your station.
If you are unwilling or unable to prevent violations on the W8RZM
repeater,
then your operator and station license will be subject to enforcement
action by the Commission. Such action may include monetary forfeiture,
operator license suspension or station license revocation.

Twistedhed,

At the risk of incurring your wrath, may I offer comment without getting
into a battle of personal attacks and angry insults?

The letter you offer in this case was not TO Mr. Adair, but to the trustee,
or owner, of the repeater. Now, I am not defending N8WWM, or promoting
anything he might be doing, but there is, in this letter, no "proof" that he
did
anything. The letter admonishes the trustee of his responsibilities as to
the ALLEGED violations of a station whose callsign was obviously used in the
commission of *some*, or certain, violations of FCC rules. The violator
could have been someone just pirating his callsign in attempt to get Mr
Adair in trouble, or just a random act of a pirate who heard Mr Adair's
callsign on the repeater. That has happened before. Thus, the letter was
sent to the trustee advising of the fact that he was, apparently, derelict
in HIS duty in not turning off the machine, etc, or taking other steps to
prevent the violation(s).


Respectfully,


--
