** ENFORCEMENT: CB AMP SALE BRINGS $7000 FINE A North Jackson, Ohio
equipment retailer has been dinged with a heavy fine. This for allegedly
selling those illegal 11 meter amplifiers that the C-B crowd calls
footwarmers. The noted violations involve Paladen Communications sale of
external Citizens Band radio frequency power amplifiers. In it's October
21st Forfeiture Order the FCC alleges that Paladen, which does business
as the CB Shop, did willfully and repeatedly violate Section 302(b) of
the Communications Act of 1934 and Sections 2.815(b) and 2.815(c) of the
Commission's Rules by making these units available to the general public.
Paladen was issued the $7,000 fine back on May 27th. The FCC says the
company never responded to the notice. Its now been given 30 days to pay
or face collection proceedings. (FCC) ** ENFORCEMENT: CB OPERATOR FINED
$10,000 FOR UNLICENSED OPERATION And using an illegal C-B amplifier will
cost a Washington state operator some really big bucks. This as the FCC
fines Robert A. Spiry of Tacoma 10,000 for what the FCC say was operating
a radio station without Commission authorization. Amateur Radio
Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, has the details: -- In its letter to
Robert A. Spiry, the FCC claims that it found the amplifier as part of a
follow-up investigation. This, after receiving numerous complaints from
Spiry's neighbors. On March 13th, April 2nd, October 29th and November
5th of 2002, agents from the Commission's Seattle, Washington Field
Office concluded that the interference resulted from 11 meter
transmissions originating from Spiry's residence and from his mobile
station in his vehicle. During station inspections conducted on April 2nd
and November 5th, 2002, the Seattle Office agents determined that Spiry
was operating transmitters that were not FCC certified and that he was
operating with a linear amplifier attached to his CB radio transmitter.
Spiry was advised that his use of unauthorized and non- certified
equipment voided his blanket authority to operate his CB station.
Nevertheless, the FCC says that he continued to operate the unauthorized
equipment at the expense of his blanket authorization to operate his CB
radio station. On December 30th, 2002, the Seattle Office issued a Notice
of Apparent Liability for Monetary Forfeiture in the amount of $10,000 to
Spiry. In other words, a $10,000 fine. In his January 15, 2003 response
Spiry did not dispute the facts that lead to the fine. Instead he stated
that he had ceased CB radio transmissions and had obtained an amateur
radio license. The FCC database lists him as holding a Technician class
license with the call sign KD7TRB. He also claimed to have removed his CB
radio antenna and asserted that he was unaware that the amount of the
forfeiture could be so high. He told the FCC that he was unable to pay
that amount. But in affirming the fine the FCC refers Spiry to Section
301 of the Communications Act. It says that no person shall use or
operate any apparatus for the transmission of energy or communications or
signals by radio within the United States without a proper license. The
FCC says that Spiry's 2002 operation of his CB radio station with
transmitters that were not FCC certified and use of a linear amplifier
constitutes repeated violations. It also notes that his taking down the
C-B antenna and getting a ham radio ticket are not sufficient actions to
negate the punishment for the original offenses. The FCC says that Robert
Spiry has not provided it with adequate financial information from which
to determine his ability to pay the forfeiture. Based on this lack of
information cancellation or reduction of the $10,000 fine is not
warranted and that it stands as is.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, Norm Seeley, KI7UP, Scottsdale, Arizona.
-- Spiry was given the usual 30 days to pay. If he fails to do so the FCC
says that the matter may be turned over to the Department of Justice for
further action. (FCC)

(Reckon he got his license hoping to avoid prosecution?)
NOT!!!
