I guess we're all going to have to deal with the occasional problem-child now and then. Send him a registered letter that he is no longer allowed to use your repeater, then back it up. If he even HICCUPS on the frequency, turn the repeater off. And be CONSISTENT about it! And copy the FCC and your repeater council! And if you have some buddies in law enforcement locally, get them in the loop too.

After all that have you sent the FCC a complaint about him ? They should step in and help you. --- On Wed, 1/28/09, Mike Besemer (WM4B) mwbese...@cox.net wrote: From: Mike Besemer (WM4B) mwbese...@cox.net Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 2 meter noise help!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 2 meter noise help!
We're working that now. putting that last tidbits of info together for the Field Office in Atlanta and for the main office in DC. Maybe Riley's replacement will be chomping at the bit looking for something to do! 73, Mike WM4B From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ralph Mowery Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 6:16 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 2 meter noise help!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 2 meter noise help!
Forwarded from a friend There is a new sheriff in town. The FCC has appointed Laura Smith to take Riley Hollingsworth's former position in enforcement. The FCC's Special Counsel for Amateur Radio slot has gone unfilled for 6 months thus she has a backlog of work ahead of her. Fortunately she is up to the task. Laura is a seasoned FCC veteran with a broad communications background at both the FCC and in the private sector. The FCC has been slow to fill the position and for a while we wondered if Riley's successor would ever be named. It looks like they were waiting for the right person. Now that Laura is on the job, let's give her our full support. If you have an enforcement issue, she may be reached by e-mail at: laura (dot) smith (at) fcc (dot) gov Amateur radio has always been somewhat self policed but when peer pressure is not enough to maintain civility, then a stronger hand is needed. The FCC has the muscle to demand compliance of the few wayward operators. We can help also. Our bands are not perfect, newer licensee's need guidance on how to properly share the many bands, frequencies and modes of operation that we radio amateurs are privileged to use. Reach out and guide (elmer) someone so that they do not become an enforcement issue. That is part of elmering also; it is not just about technical items. I know that some of you are wondering, Is Laura a ham? No, not yet, but she does have the study guides. If you attend the Dayton Hamvention 2009 May 15-17, you will have a chance to visit with her. We welcome Laura to this position and wish her success. 73, Terry Graves, K7FE Editor QRZ.COM At 07:36 PM 01/29/09, you wrote: Since Riley retired last summer, there has not been one single amateur radio enforcement action by the FCC Draw your own conclusions... - Original Message - From: Ralph Mowery ku...@yahoo.com To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 5:15 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 2 meter noise help!

Thanks Ken, I wondered where that lunatic came from... and of course he doesn't have a regular hour job... pops up on repeaters at odd hours and seems to have a radio on almost every band. And he has a friend in the next town over to time off every box he gets on. Lock to talk operation... We reprogrammed all the repeaters for 30 second time-out timer and turned the ACC type kerchunk filter back on. The best way to discourage him is to make other high level repeaters more attractive to operate on. Hope he goes to the other group's open repeater. cheers, s.
