43551 Attn: Trustee John C. Lagger, AA8XS Warning Notice--Amateur
Repeater W8RZM Dear Mr. Lagger: Our records indicate that you are the
trustee for the above repeater system. Enclosed are recordings of
violations on the repeater by N8WWM. The transmissions continued for a
considerable time and there was no evidence of a control operator. Since
you are the trustee for the repeater, it is important for you to
understand that you are responsible for its proper operation. The
decision to operate a repeater is a totally voluntarily one. Repeaters
are a convenience in the Amateur Radio Service, not a necessity. A
repeater is a station just like any other station; and under Section
97.205 of the Commission's rules, all stations must have a licensee and
control operator. Under Sections 97.103(a) and 97.105, control operators
must ensure the immediate proper operation of a station, regardless of
the type of station control. Furthermore, "automatic" control does not
mean "unattended" operation. Unattended operation is not authorized
under the rules. The repeater licensee/trustee is responsible for all
recurring violations and violations that are not inadvertent, just as a
licensee is responsible for a base station HF station operation in the
licensee's home. You must prevent recurring and deliberate violations on
the repeater by locking rule violators out, using tones, warning users,
limiting its operation, or taking whatever steps necessary commensurate
with your responsibility as the licensee of the station. If you are
unable to do so, then you must shut down your station. If you are
unwilling or unable to prevent violations on the W8RZM repeater, then
your operator and station license will be subject to enforcement action
by the Commission. Such action may include monetary forfeiture, operator
license suspension or station license revocation. We request that you
respond within 20 days of the date of this letter and indicate what
action you have taken to prevent additional rule violations on the
repeater. Please call me at
717-338-2502 if you have any questions about this inquiry. CC: FCC,
Western Regional Director

Gee, the Western Field Director of the Federal Communications Commission
indicates: "Enclosed are recordings of violations on the repeater by
N8WWM." and Lelnad and pal-Dogie claim it isn't true. The company these
boys keep,,,,,,LOL.

Nothing to spin, Frank, it was all done by the selective snipping of a
google search of posts. Removing them from their original context and
posts, and the posts to which they were replies, will invariably
mischaracterize what was written. Try and enjoy yourself, Frank, instead
of hating yourself and being ate up with me. Have a good weekend

I am enjoying myself. It's a hoot to see you tripping all over your
communication deficit then putting the blame on others!
