![]() OH YEAH -- better get informed -- here is a start FCC Sends Ex-Ham to the Slammer from The ARRL Letter / ARRL Website: http://www.arrl.org on January 26, 2001 View comments about this article! EX-HAM GETS JAIL, PROBATION FOR UNLICENSED OPERATION Former amateur Richard Allen Burton this week was sentenced to three months in jail and one year's probation for unlicensed operation of a radio transmitter. Burton also must undergo psychological treatment. Burton was sentenced January 22. The FCC says he'd been operating without a license on repeaters in Southern California. Burton is scheduled to report to the US Marshal's office on February 26 to begin serving his jail term. He has been free on $20,000 bond. Formerly WB6JAC, Burton, lost his General ticket in 1981 as a result of unspecified violations. Since then, he's racked up a lengthy history of alleged unlicensed operation, most or all of it on amateur frequencies. He has served jail time and probation as a result of earlier convictions. Burton was arrested last August 5 following his indictment by a federal grand jury in California. He faced six felony counts of violating the Communications Act of 1934. CASE CLOSED -- ID with held to protect the innocent "Hans" wrote in message ... "Radio Dawg" wrote in message news:drjvd.32078$ve.26317@fed1read06... We had an idiot here in So Cal do the same thing for 2 months -- we found em -- turned em in He had a hard time paying the FCC fine and they confiscated all his equipment Interlopers are very easy to spot and find. Hams are very protective of their bands (Guess you are not) Caveat Pirates -- ID with held to protect the innocent In a word, BULL****. 73, Hans |
