On August 18, the FCC wrote Neva Poovey of Newton, North Carolina, citing
information indicating that she or someone in her residence had been
operating radio equipment that caused interference on 10 and 12 meters.
Hollingsworth noted that FCC records did not indicate a license authorizing
transmissions on those bands had been granted to anyone at Poovey's address.
Poovey's husband Michael responded to tell Hollingsworth he was testing "a
huge mobile linear" with another individual in his driveway. A nearby radio
amateur complained to the Commission after hearing the transmissions on the
two amateur bands.
