If they're registered, that means they were convicted at one time, and
probably have some condition of a parole or early release which prohibits

Bill,
I believe the actual citation is 47

Don,
There are many reasons that a person has to register as an offender. some of
which I believe are questionable. Without knowing the specifics, I will not
comment. If you believe there is a concern over their activities you have
several options, including contacting the local

There are reasons one could be required to register as a sex offender some of
which would have nothing to do with a relationship with young people. If you
hear any conversations on your repeater you deem unfit you have the right to
ask the party not to use your repeater. That being said
I think it depends on location but generally, offenders are PROFOTIBED from
making with minors, etc. I have heard of prosucations when they made internet
contact. I would think HAM radio would be along the same lines. I would report
them to the proper agency them report them to the FCC. Maybe

Don,
You may want to do a search of the FCC's website for infractions and the
like; as I remember a number of years ago the FCC shut down a pirate
broadcast station somewhere in the U.S. and the person that was involved was
a ham.
I'm not sure of the final disposition of the case, but I do
Their offender status doesn't matter. You can ban anyone from your
repeater for any reason at any time. Do what was suggested - write them
a registered letter and CC the FCC. Then, if they still use your
repeater the FCC may be able to take action against them.
I can't think of any rule that
That statement implies that they have a civil right to use your station.
The FCC is quite clear that you are responsible for your own station,
and you have the right to say who uses or does not use your repeater.
They have no right to force you to allow them to use your repeater.
