We;ve had several actions over the years where a licensed ham was caught interfering with other stations by sending Morse over a DTMF pad....usually the letters "F" and "U"......including one where the interferer was trying to cover up a known jammer. We caught the first one first.... Fascinating, Phil! Was that on HF or VHF/UHF? The use of the DTMF pad makes it sound like a repeater thing. Several actions over the years works out to one every few years or so. Still a lot less than in voice modes, but more than "you've got to go back years and years". -- On the guy transmitting "code practice" 24/7: It is my understanding that there's no hard rule against doing what he did, *if* the practice is done on a published schedule and *if* station control and ID meet FCC regs. IOW, it's theoretically possible for a ham station to legally transmit code practice consisting of Bible texts 24/7. My take on the violation was that 1) There were questions about the station control. 2) There was no response to FCC's repeated requests for information on the station operation (primarily about 1)). Both of which lead to the NAL. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
