●Loaded for Bear: FCC Issues Warnings Regarding Unlicensed Use of Ham Bands

ARRLのサイトによると、米FCC（連邦通信委員会）は、最近下記のような行動を行ったそうです。

1.ミシガン州において、2m帯のアマチュア無線を、熊の狩猟のために無免許で使用している何人かの個人に、「多額の罰金が科せられる可能性がある」と警告を行った。

2.フロリダ州のグライダー関連団体（Quest Air Soaring Center）に、2m帯における無免許のアマチュア無線の使用は違法であると通知し、団体のWebサイト等でメンバーに周知するよう勧告した。

3.トラックドライバーが、昨年の夏に10m帯のアマチュア無線を無免許で運用した事に関して、テキサス州のSysco Corporationに当該事実を報告し、警告を行った。

4.インディアナ州のDavid O. Castle氏(WA9KJI)の免許更新に対して、同氏の短波帯と2m帯における運用に関して「長年にわたる」苦情が寄せられている事により、当局による事情聴取が行われると通知した。

5.カリフォルニア州のWilliam F. Crowell氏(W6WBJ、ex-N6AYJ)の免許更新に対して、同氏のアマチュア無線運用に関して、多数の苦情が寄せられている事により、当局による事情聴取が行われると通知した。

6.テクニシャン級のCharles H. Fenske氏(N0PPZ)が、運用資格範囲外の75m帯の運用を行ったと言うFCCからの書類が、同氏のFCCに登録されている住所に郵送できなかった事より、資格が停止された。

なお、詳しくは上記のリンク先をご覧下さい。

＃日本では、電波法違反を行った個人や団体が公開される事はまれですが、米国ではARRLのサイトで容赦なく（汗）公開されるようですね。これは、お国柄の違いと言う事でしょうか。

Loaded for Bear: FCC Issues Warnings Regarding Unlicensed Use of Ham Bands

NEWINGTON, CT, Nov 6, 2006 -- The FCC has warned several individuals that unlicensed use of Amateur Radio transmitting equipment on 2 meters to facilitate their bear hunting activities is illegal and may result in substantial fines. FCC Special Counsel in the FCC Spectrum Enforcement Division Riley Hollingsworth warned seven individuals in Grand Marais, Luzerne, Warren, Shelby Township and Newberry, Michigan, on October 19.

"While many hunters use Citizens Band radio or Family Radio Service equipment, the use of Amateur Radio equipment requires a license," Hollingsworth advised. He also sent an Advisory Notice to the Michigan Bear Hunters Association with the suggestion to post it on the Association's Web site.

In a similar situation, the Commission attempted to enlist the aid of a Florida soaring center in spreading the word that glider pilots using its facility also need to avoid unlicensed operation on 2 meters. Hollingsworth asked Quest Air Soaring Center in Groveland to advise its participants that unlicensed use of airborne radio equipment not only violates federal law but causes widespread interference to licensed stations. He suggested the soaring center post the Advisory Notice on its Web site as well.

The FCC also warned yet another trucking firm of apparent unlicensed operation on 10 meters by two of its drivers this past summer. Hollingsworth wrote Sysco Corporation of Houston, Texas, October 10, citing reports that the transmissions were spotted August 11 and 18 on 28.115 MHz while the drivers were on the road in Michigan.

In all three instances, Hollingsworth pointed out that violators face fines of up to $10,000 and possible imprisonment as well as seizure of any transmitting equipment they may have been using illegally.

In other recent actions, the FCC alerted two radio amateurs that the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) has referred their Amateur Radio license renewal applications to the Enforcement Bureau for review. Hollingsworth notified each licensee to expect a Hearing Designation Order from the Commission.

Hollingsworth told David O. Castle, WA9KJI, of Evansville, Indiana, October 11 that the WTB referral was the result of "longstanding complaints against the operation of your station" involving interference on HF and 2 meters. In another case, Hollingsworth wrote William F. Crowell, W6WBJ (ex-N6AYJ), of Diamond Springs, California, that his license renewal application has been designated for hearing after a review of "numerous complaints filed against the operation of your station" alleging deliberate interference.

Hearings are held in Washington, DC, before an administrative law judge, and the applicants will have the burden of proof in showing they're still qualified to be Amateur Radio licensees. Over the past several years, the FCC has asked both licensees to respond to allegations of deliberate interference on the amateur bands.

A Notice of Suspension went out October 11 to a Technician licensee, Charles H. Fenske, N0PPZ, for failing to maintain a current mailing address on file with the FCC. Hollingsworth told Fenske that the FCC suspended his license after the US Postal Service was unable to deliver a September 20 letter asking him to respond to complaints alleging deliberate interference on 75 meters, operation on unauthorized frequencies and "failure to control your transmitter."

The suspension -- for the remainder of the license term -- becomes effective 15 days from the date of attempted delivery of the suspension notice or until the licensee provides a valid mailing address to the FCC, Hollingsworth said.
