Default 10 meter truckers caught, more to come.

FCC Warns Trucking Firms about Alleged Unlicensed 10-Meter Operation

NEWINGTON, CT, Jul 28, 2003--The FCC Enforcement Bureau has sent
Warning Notice letters to three highway transportation firms
asserting that drivers of some of their vehicles may have
transmitted without a license on 10 meters. All three notices
allege the unlicensed operations took place July 8 on Interstate
highways in South Carolina.

Letters went out July 14 from FCC Special Counsel Riley
Hollingsworth to Jolly Roger Capital Ltd of Columbia, South
Carolina, Tidewater Transit Company of Kinston, North Carolina,
and Shuford Lumber of Marion, North Carolina. He warned all
three firms that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a license could lead to fines of up to $10,000,
equipment seizure and even imprisonment.

Hollingsworth cited "information before the Commission" that
spelled out each vehicle's highway location, license plate
and--in two instances--operating frequency (28.085 MHz). One of
the Warning Notice letters also identified the make and year of
the vehicle. The alleged offenses were said to have occurred
when the vehicles were under way on Interstate 77 or Interstate
20 in South Carolina.

Hollingsworth asked all three firms to get in touch with him to
discuss the allegations.
