WHO could forget this clown getting spanked by Charlie!?!
N8WWM guilty of FCC violations. According to the FCC, N8WWM, Dog Adair
committed several violations over the air at the expense of the Toledo
Amateur Radio Club by utilizing their repeater to break the law. The
amateur club received a warning letter from the FCC concerning Adair's
violations and were told to take steps to make certain the violations
by Adair will not be repeated. Adair not only hurt the entire image of
amateur radio with his inexcusable behavior, but damaged the
reputation of yet another entity trying to further the good of amateur
radio. It's a shame when bad apples like these make it so clubs can't
even trust their own users to abide by the rules they were sworn to
uphold. Adair is also an infamous presence on the internet. A google
search of "N8WWM" reveals a peek into the world of the individual
identified as Adair. In addition to FCC violations, Adair has, in the
past, been accused of being a prolific spammer, breaking several
internet laws and violating several terms of service agreements with
internet providers.

Here's a few more Jerry..it's a friggin' scroll of abuse reports.
ALBUQUERQUE, NM: The FCC sent a Warning Notice March 14, 2000, to
Amateur Extra licensee Dean M. Brown, AC5IU, advising him that
information from the FCC's High Frequency Direction Finding Center in
Columbia, Maryland, indicates that the licensee "deliberately
interfered with the radio operations of other licensed amateurs on the
20-meter amateur band on March, 2, 2000." The FCC also cited
information that the licensee "failed to identify and used a disguised
voice." FCC Special Counsel for Amateur Radio Enforcement Riley
Hollingsworth warned Brown that operation of the type described "will
not be tolerated," and he requested the licensee contact him to discuss
the matter.
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ: The FCC sent a Warning Notice March 14, 2000, to
Advanced licensee Ronald Marshott, N2NGY, to advise him that
information before the Commission indicates the licensee has been
"deliberately interfering with the radio operations of other licensed
amateurs on the 75-meter band." The FCC also said it has information
that the licensee "failed to identify, identified by call signs not
your own, and have made threats to other licensees." FCC Special
Counsel for Amateur Radio Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth warned
Marshott that operation of the type described "will not be tolerated"
and could result in a fine and revocation proceedings. Hollingsworth
requested the licensee contact him to discuss the matter.
CRANE, MO [UPDATE]: The FCC wrote former Amateur Radio licensee Lonnie
H. Allen on March 15, 2000, setting aside the March 8 grant of a
Technician license, KC0HJP. On February 23, the FCC canceled Allen's
General license, N0TBO, after he failed to appear for retesting by
January 31, as requested December 6, 1999. FCC Special Counsel for
Amateur Radio Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth said it was setting aside
Allen's most recent Amateur Radio grant "due to allegations that raise
questions about your qualifications to hold an Amateur Radio license."
The FCC said that Allen took a Technician examination March 4 under the
supervision of a W5YI-VEC volunteer examiner team. For now, that
application will revert to pending status. Hollingsworth said the FCC
would write Allen within two weeks "requesting a response to complaints
about the operation of N0TBO." Hollingsworth warned Allen that, in the
meantime, he has no authority to operate radio transmitting equipment.
SALISBURY, NC: The FCC wrote Technician licensee Thomas F. Reynolds Sr,
N4TFR, on March 14, citing information before the Commission that the
licensee has been using ham gear on the Citizens Band and other
frequencies and has been selling "transmitting equipment not meeting
the Commission's certification standards" over the air on those
frequencies. The FCC said its information indicates the licensee has
been using FM and LSB on 27.320 and 27.375 MHz and transmitting at
power limits above those authorized for the Citizens Band. The FCC said
operating uncertificated equipment at excessive power levels
constitutes unlicensed radio operation and jeopardizes Reynolds' ham
ticket. "Such operation will subject you to criminal prosecution and in
rem seizure of transmitting equipment," the FCC warned. The FCC gave
Reynolds 20 days to respond to the allegations and said the information
he submits will be used to determine what action, if any, to take in
the matter. In late February, the FCC wrote nearly identical letters to
three other amateur licensees in Salisbury.
Hey Jerry, have you seen this too?
