Izzat a surprise?

All show. No go. The usual.

it is nice to know that the fcc is still in the enforcement business and has
gotten at least one 11m trucker off the 10m band! as reported in the latest
ARRL Letter:

==FCC WARNS TRUCKING FIRMS ABOUT ALLEGED UNLICENSED 10-METER OPERATION

The FCC Enforcement Bureau has sent Warning Notice letters to three highway
transportation firms asserting that drivers of some of their vehicles may
have transmitted without a license on 10 meters. The notices allege the
unlicensed operations took place July 8 on Interstate highways in South
Carolina.

Letters went out July 14 from FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth to
Jolly Roger Capital Ltd of Columbia, South Carolina, Tidewater Transit
Company of Kinston, North Carolina, and Shuford Lumber of Marion, North
Carolina. He warned all three firms that operation of radio transmitting
equipment without a license could lead to fines of up to $10,000, equipment
seizure and even imprisonment.

Hollingsworth asked all three firms to get in touch with him to discuss the
allegations. He told ARRL that one of the companies already had responded
and required its driver to remove all radio gear from his truck.
