Warning Notice
Dear Mr. Deane:
The trustee of WA7DG has requested, by letter dated April 4, 2012, that
you refrain from use of his repeater. The written request was issued as a
result of your failure to follow operational rules set forth by the
licensee/control operators of the repeater system for their users. You
have recently been heard again on the WA7DG repeater necessitating the
request of the repeater owner for Commission intervention.
The Commission requires that repeaters be under the supervision of a
control operator and not only expects, but requires, that such control
operators be responsible for the proper operation of the repeater system.
Control operators may take whatever steps they deem appropriate to ensure
compliance with the repeater rules, including limiting the repeater use to
certain users, converting the repeater to a closed repeater or taking it
off the air entirely.
Please be advised that the Commission expects you to abide by the request
of the control operator that you stay off of WA7DG - and any other similar
requests to cease operations on any other repeaters by any other repeater
licensees, control operators or trustees.
Use of WA7DG again after receipt of this letter could subject you to
severe penalties, including license revocation, monetary forfeiture (fine)
or a modification
proceeding to restrict the frequencies upon which you may operate.
Sincerely,
Laura L. Smith, Esq.
Special Counsel
