Wingate 168 Lakeside Drive Corte Madera, CA 94925-1052 RE Warning Notice: Amateur Radio license AE6QD Case #EB-2004-2548 Dear Mr. Wingate: Monitoring information before the Commission indicates that you have been deliberately interfering with ongoing communications on 75 meters at various times this month. The interference consists of jamming, making threats to other operators and to law enforcement officers, and broadcasts in which you appear incoherent. Continued incidents of such interference will subject you to revocation and suspension proceedings, as well as a monetary forfeiture (fine). Fines normally range from $7,500 to $10,000.

That action was based on information coming to the Commission's attention that you have used your station to interfere with various repeater operations in North Carolina on 145.350, 145.450 and 147.120 MHz, have ignored requests of repeater control operators to refrain from using their repeaters, and ignored the Commission Warning letter dated December 24, 2003 regarding use of and interference to the repeaters. Apparently your use of, and interference to, these repeaters continues. In view of the above, your renewal application will not be routinely granted. The Commission may need additional information from you in order to determine your qualifications to be remain a Commission license, and it may be necessary to designate your application for an evidentiary hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. In such a proceeding you would be required to appear at a hearing in Washington, DC, and would have the burden of proof to show that you were qualified to retain your license. You will be contacted by the Enforcement Bureau shortly.

Bell 7214 Corregidor Vancouver, WA 98664 Amateur Radio license N7IJS Case Number EB-2004-2518 Dear Mr. Bell: On February 17, 2004, we wrote you enclosing an opinion from the Ninth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals, dated September 19, 2002. That opinion upheld the conviction and ten year sentence of a James Dalton Bell for interstate stalking and using the facilities of interstate commerce for interstate stalking, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sections 2261A and 2261A (2) (B) (i). Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. Section 308(b), gives the Commission the authority to obtain information from applicants and licensees regarding the operation of their station and their qualifications to retain a Commission license. Accordingly, you were requested to respond to the February 17 letter within 20 days indicating whether you were the same James D. Bell as reflected in the Court of Appeals Opinion enclosed. The February 17 letter stated that if you were, the criminal conviction may reflect adversely upon your qualifications to hold an Amateur license and an administrative hearing may be designated to take evidence on that issue. Finally, our letter stated that if you are the same James D. Bell, you may wish to provide additional information on the convictions, for consideration by the Commission; or you may wish to voluntarily submit your license for cancellation in order to avoid a hearing on the issue. We asked that you indicate your preference in your response. In your responses dated March 10 and 24, 2004, you disputed our authority to obtain the information requested, and threatened to sue the Commission claiming that our letter was in retaliation for a lawsuit you had filed. In fact, we unaware of any such lawsuit, and any lawsuit you choose to file, and any defendants you choose to name, is a matter entirely up to you. The information we sought is relevant to your qualifications to retain your Amateur license. You should be aware that in 1990, the Commission revised its character qualifications policy, expanding the types of non-FCC-related misconduct that it would consider as bearing on licensee or applicant character qualifications (Policy Regarding Character Qualifications in Broadcast Licensing, Policy Statement and Order, 5 FCC RCD 3252 (1990) (Character Policy Statement), recon. granted in part, denied in part, 6 FCC Rcd 3448 (1991), further recon. granted, 7 FCC Rcd 6564 (1992). The Commission concluded that "a propensity to comply with the law generally is relevant to the Commission's public interest analysis, and that an applicant's or licensee's willingness to violate other laws, and, in particular, to commit felonies, also bears on our confidence that an applicant or licensee will conform to FCC rules and policies. The 1990 Character Policy Statement applies to Amateur Radio licensees just as it does to all other FCC licensees ( See, e.g., Herbert L. Schoenbohm, Decision, 13 FCC Rcd 15028 (1998), recon. denied, 13 FCC Rcd 23774 (1998), aff'd in part, dismissed in part sub nom. Schoenbohm v. FCC, 204 F.3d 243 (2000), cert. denied, 121 S. Ct. 405 (2000); Leslie D. Brewer, Order to Show Cause, Notice of Order of Suspension, Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, and Notice of Apparent Liability for a Forfeiture, 16 FCC Rcd 5671, licenses revoked, 16 FCC Rcd 12878 (2001). For your convenience we are enclosing the April 23, 2004, revocation order in the case of Roger Thomas Scaggs, W5EBC. Additionally, we have reviewed your legal analysis outlined in your letters referenced above, and suggest that you may wish to retain counsel to assist you in submitting any future ones.

For the big mouthed CBers claiming the FCC doesn't do anything looks like they're dead wrong. A person operating on a ham band without a license is what the FCC calls an 'unlicensed amateur', not an 'illegal CBer'. Violations within the Citizen's Band are, for the most part, ignored by the FCC. Officially, the FCC tries very hard to avoid the fact that 10 meter incursions are mostly overflow from the anarchy which they allow to continue in and around 11 meters. Instead, the FCC relies on hams like you and Oxendine to unofficially pass reports of these incursions to the CBers. Because if the Commission did it themselves they would be admitting their own failure, and would then be forced to do their jobs. And do you know why the FCC doesn't want to do their jobs and enforce the CB? Because it is 'unprofitable' -- the legal process costs more than the fines will return. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

I know that Cb'rs get busted. So a few Cb'rs get busted out of tens of thousands, Specifically they were truckers. If you investigate further you will discover that in the union contracts the drivers are allowed to use CB radios only. No export radios, no modified CBs etc. That was mention specifically when UPS drivers were caught. Not only are the drivers at risk from being fired the companies they work for face stiff fines for allowing the violations to occur. The companies are responsible for making sure their employees don't violate the law. If I had a driver that cost me $7,500 to $10,000 in fines I'd fire them. There are plenty of hungry unemployed truck drivers out there who are more than willing to follow the law. it just shows that Hams are just as bad, don't follow the rules any better. The point for a long time big by mouthed CBer have claimed that incurions in to the Ham 10m band was a minor deal and the FCC wasn't going to do anything about it. Both claims are wrong. Having a few Hams contacted by the FCC for Part 97 violations does not change the fact that there are millions of CBers, there are only 650K to 750K Hams, operating illegally. I wonder if the FCC knows about Doug's felony conviction? From what I read, he could have his license revoked. Maybe someone should forward those court papers along with the posts offering a modified cb for sale, throw in a few of his colorful posts for a little icing. I'll bet they won't do a thing. In fact somebody mostly alread has and nothing has happed. Since you seem to like posting these things, why don't you do your duty and turn Doug in for his crimes? I don't turn in CBers either, I just like posting the news, so fair is fair. Come on Lee, you are so gung ho to post this drivel here to start flames. It takes two. If you just ignored it then there wouldn't be a problem. But you can't leave it alone. You're attracted to it like a moth to a bug zapper. Do your Ham duty and turn Doug in for his crimes to his family and the ham community for selling modified cb's. Hams can sell all the modified equipment we want per Part 97, go look it up. LOL!!! Yeah, lot of laughs on this side because your trying to argue a point while being totally ignorant of the rules. It would be different if you knew what you were talking about. But that's been the case with most of the illegal CBers on this group, big mouth and no facts. -- Leland C.

"Twistedhed" wrote in message ... Bull****. No such wording in trucker's union contracts. Such rules are completely voluntary and enacted by the trucking companies. No export radios, no modified CBs etc. That was mention specifically when UPS drivers were caught. Spread your cheeks wide Twirt and prepare to take it like a man. And I'll bet you'll even like it too. Quoted from full text article following this. "UPS Attorney Daniel N. Tenfelde last week assured Hollingsworth that his company was taking its Warning Notice seriously and has launched a full investigation. "We discovered that some employees had obtained CB radios that contained a mechanism allowing them to switch frequencies into the 10-meter Amateur Radio band," he said in a January 28 letter. "It is not UPS policy to allow equipment such as this to be used in our vehicles." He said UPS' contract with the Teamsters Union allows only for CB radios. Tenfelde said UPS is working with its transportation and labor groups to let drivers know that such unlicensed operation violates both UPS policy and FCC regulations." As you can CLEARLY READ it says UPS' contract with the Teamsters Union allows only for CB radios. Twirt you lie to cover the truth, but its out there and there is NOTHING you can do to stop people from finding it!! http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/02/02/101/?nc=1 ____________________ FCC Goes After Alleged 10-Meter Scofflaws NEWINGTON, CT, Feb 2, 2004--The FCC is working on at least two fronts to eliminate unlicensed operation from the 10-meter band. Earlier this month, FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth sent warning notices to two shipping companies regarding reports to the Commission that some of the companies' vehicles may be the source of illegal radio transmissions on the amateur band. One of the companies, UPS, has offered its full cooperation. "Many truckers use CB radio, which does not require a license," Hollingsworth pointed out in letters earlier this month to UPS offices in Ohio and Indiana and to R&L Transfer Inc of Ohio. "However, any person using a radio transmitter on the Amateur Radio bands must possess a station and operator license." Hollingsworth asked the over-the-road shippers to advise their drivers that such radio operation could subject them to heavy fines and seizure of their radio equipment. UPS Attorney Daniel N. Tenfelde last week assured Hollingsworth that his company was taking its Warning Notice seriously and has launched a full investigation. "We discovered that some employees had obtained CB radios that contained a mechanism allowing them to switch frequencies into the 10-meter Amateur Radio band," he said in a January 28 letter. "It is not UPS policy to allow equipment such as this to be used in our vehicles." He said UPS' contract with the Teamsters Union allows only for CB radios. Tenfelde said UPS is working with its transportation and labor groups to let drivers know that such unlicensed operation violates both UPS policy and FCC regulations. In a parallel development, the FCC issued a Citation to Jonathan Edward Stone, doing business as Omnitronics/Pacetronics for alleged violation of §302(b) of the Communications Act and §2.803(a)(1) of the Commission's rules. An investigation by the FCC's Dallas field office led the Commission to allege that Omnitronics/Pacetronics was offering more than two dozen uncertificated "Citizens Band" transceivers via its Web site. The FCC says Omnitronics/Pacetronics was marketing the units as Amateur Radio equipment, which does not require FCC certification (formerly known as "type acceptance"), and a check of the company's Web site generally confirmed that assertion. "The Commission has evaluated radio frequency devices similar to those listed and concluded that the devices at issue are not only amateur radios but can easily be altered for use as Citizens Band devices as well," said the FCC Citation from FCC Dallas District Director James D. Wells. The FCC said it concluded that the devices fall within the definition of CB transmitters and therefore "cannot legally be imported or marketed in the United States." That would include so-called "export" models, the Citation said, pointing to a 2000 revision of §2.1204(a)(5) of its rules. Citing §95.655(a) of the FCC's rules, Wells noted that "dual-use CB and Amateur Radio of the kind at issue here may not be certificated under the Commission's rules." He said the clarification was added to Part 95--which governs the Citizens Band--"to explicitly foreclose the possibility of certification of dual-use CB and amateur radios and thereby deter use by CB operators of frequencies allocated for Amateur Radio use." The FCC Citation also warned Unitronics/Pacetronics regarding the requirement of FCC certification of external RF amplifiers or amplifier kits capable of operating below 144 MHz as well as the prohibition against marketing RF amplifiers or amplifier kits capable of operating between 24 and 35 MHz. Most of the transceivers in question carry brand names unfamiliar within the amateur community--such as Connex, Galaxy, General and Superstar. Radios being marketed as amateur gear are shown on the Unitronics/Pacetronics Web site displaying 27.185 MHz on the dial--CB channel 19. Some of the purported amateur transceivers have only a channel readout display, not a frequency display, and only operate on AM or FM modes. For an additional charge, Omnitronics/Pacetronics offers such accessories as roger beeps, "turbo echo" and what it calls "basic" and "professional" alignment. The only recognized amateur manufacturer on the list in the FCC's Citation is Ranger. The FCC Citation singled out the Ranger models RCI-2950DX--a 10-meter transceiver--and RCI-2970DX--a dual-band 10/12-meter unit. Both are shown on the Omnitronics/Pacetronics Web site displaying 27.185 MHz, and the ad copy notes, "you can use this radio in the roughest environments. (Yes, even a Mack.)" The February QST 1992 review of the Ranger RCI-2950 made note of its CB heritage and features--such as a "roger beep" and a public-address speaker jack. The ARRL Lab said it may be possible to modify the '2950 for operation outside the amateur bands. The RCI-2970DX was reviewed in QST for October 2001. The ARRL Lab said that using then-available information, it was unable to modify the '2970DX it tested for operation on non-amateur frequencies. Omnitronics/Pacetronics is not related to Omnitronics, LLC, the Ohio company that manufactures Astatic microphones--including the D-104--and other microphones, some used for mobile CB applications. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- -- Leland C.

We applaud their efforts to catch the errant hams, more power to them. That is why they also go after the illegal cbers that attempt to operate on the ham bands. They couldn't care less about the cb band anymore as the cbers took it upon themselves to turn it into the sewer pit of the radio spectrum. |

Who cares? I already know about it. So some bad Hams get busted proves the system works. For the big mouthed CBers claiming the FCC doesn't do anything looks like they're dead wrong. -- Leland C. Scott KC8LDO Who cares Leland? I know that Cb'rs get busted. So a few Cb'rs get busted out of tens of thousands, Specifically they were truckers. If you investigate further you will discover that in the union contracts the drivers are allowed to use CB radios only. No export radios, no modified CBs etc. That was mention specifically when UPS drivers were caught. OMG, now you seem to know what the union contracts say for OK City. Ok & Lithonia Ga? LMAO!!!! Now who's the ignorant one .................... ROTFLMFAO!!!! Oh Leland, quit now while your behind..... Not only are the drivers at risk from being fired the companies they work for face stiff fines for allowing the violations to occur. The companies are responsible for making sure their employees don't violate the law. If I had a driver that cost me $7,500 to $10,000 in fines I'd fire them. There are plenty of hungry unemployed truck drivers out there who are more than willing to follow the law. Agreed, but you still haven't proved that the drivers were even reprimanded, let alone fired. You have some sort of crystal ball into those companies, to see what happens internally? Yeah right! and the FCC wasn't going to do anything about it. Both claims are wrong. Having a few Hams contacted by the FCC Part 97 violations does not change the fact that there are millions of CBers, there are only 650K to 750K Hams, operating illegally. I wonder if the FCC knows about Doug's felony conviction? From what I read, he could have his license revoked. Maybe someone should forward those court papers along with the posts offering a modified cb for sale, throw in a few of his colorful posts for a little icing. I'll bet they won't do a thing. In fact somebody mostly alread has and nothing has happed. Since you seem to like posting these things, why don't you do your duty and turn Doug in for his crimes? I don't turn in CBers either, I just like posting the news, so fair is fair. Come on Lee, you are so gung ho to post this drivel here to start flames. It takes two. If you just ignored it then there wouldn't be a problem. But you can't leave it alone. You're attracted to it like a moth to a bug zapper. Same to you, you are like a bug, attracted to the headlights................ SQUISH!!!!!!!!!!!! there you are, another causualty on a windshield. Do your Ham duty and turn Doug in for his crimes to his family and the ham community for selling modified cb's. Hams can sell all the modified equipment we want per Part 97, go look it up. Yeah, but he offered the radio, then offered to modify it for extra freqs for the buyer, no matter who bought it. Defend him all you want, he's a felon and your defending a felon, a losing proposition anyway you slice it. LOL!!! Yeah, lot of laughs on this side because your trying to argue a point while being totally ignorant of the rules. It would be different if you knew what you were talking about. But that's been the case with most of the illegal CBers on this group, big mouth and no facts. Oh but I do Leland, been there, seen it, done it, you on the other hand are doing nothing but sinking your own ship. Defending a known felon, repeater jammer. Talking like you know the union contracts of the trucking firms from OK City, Ok & Lithonia Ga, when you don't know squat! Go ahead and email, better yet, call the local union for both, have them post where it's against union rules to have anything other than a cb in union trucks..........LMAO!!!! -- Leland C.

Landshark You can't see the forest through the trees, shark. Busting someone that isn't licensed costs much more money in man-hours, equipment usage, travel expenses, etc. There needs to be monitoring and DFing, at least one warning notice, more monitoring and DFing, a request for station inspection, more monitoring and DFing, etc, etc, etc. This is done because once an NAL is issued, the evidence needs to be very nearly unimpeachable to avoid legal challenges in court, which would cost even more money in court fees and lawyers. That's why when you -do- hear of a CBer getting busted the violations are usually quite extensive. On the other hand, it's easy to bust a ham because a lot of the legal process is eliminated by the fact that the violator is licensed -- the license pre-empts most of the issues upon which a legal challenge could be made. All they need to do is record a few illegal transmissions, do a DF and audio comparison against legal transmissions where the ham identifies himself, then cite the ham for a violation against his license.

"Twistedhed" wrote in message ... Bull****. No such wording in trucker's union contracts. Such rules are completely voluntary and enacted by the trucking companies. No export radios, no modified CBs etc. That was mention specifically when UPS drivers were caught. Spread your cheeks wide Twirt and prepare to take it like a man. And I'll bet you'll even like it too. Homsexual connotations by KC8LDO noted. Quoted from full text article following this. "UPS Attorney Daniel N. Tenfelde last week assured Hollingsworth that his company was taking its Warning Notice seriously and has launched a full investigation. No one took issue with your claim that UPS had such a policy. Your communication deficit is acting up and on display for all to enjoy. "We discovered that some employees had obtained CB radios that contained a mechanism allowing them to switch frequencies into the 10-meter Amateur Radio band," he said in a January 28 letter. "It is not UPS policy to allow equipment such as this to be used in our vehicles." He said UPS' contract with the Teamsters Union allows only for CB radios. Correct.."UPS" contract,,,NOT the Teamster's CONTRACT. Your communication deficit is responsible for your flawed interpretation of such. If you didn;t suffer so massively, you wouldn;t have made such a mistake. Tenfelde said UPS is working with its transportation and labor groups to let drivers know that such unlicensed operation violates both UPS policy and FCC regulations." As you can CLEARLY READ it says UPS' contract with the Teamsters Union allows only for CB radios. Again, it is UPS contract, NOT the Teamsters contract. KC8LDO you lie to cover the truth, but its out there and there is NOTHING you can do to stop people from realizing it !! Here it is again, claiming it is the UPS contract, NOT the Teamster's contract. UPS is but one of a handful of companies enacting such policies. http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/02/02/101/?nc=3D Now, stop your lying KC8LDO, and learn from your mistakes, child. |

No union contracts by the Teamsters address the radios as KC8LDO has
maintained. More lies from KCLDO. All can see how he took a single company (UPS) and THEIR specific contract and took it to mean the Teamsters have enacted the contract...such is the price he pays for suffering such a massive deficit in communications. |

The FCC still values ham radio, that is why wayward hams and other illegal ops on the ham bands are likely to get caught. And by the way, 99% of the hams don't get busted, 99+ percent of the hams are operating legally, while 99+ percent of the cbers are operating illegally. |
