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.

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)
