There was a case a while back where a ham had his license pulled because he was convicted of telecom fraud. IIRC, the FCC said it was evidence that he was unwilling to follow the rules. And I think it only came visible because he protested, or filed to get it reinstated. I suspect Phil can recall more details. It's been a while. 73, doug

The law and the enforcement apparatus always was there, though, and was used without any publicity. We're going through violent times now and it's sad that such a notice had to be issued. Violators can't say that they weren't warned. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 (30 year veteran of FCC Field Enforcement) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
