FCC proposes fining Radio Ham $1000 for failing to identify

The USA communications regulator, the FCC, takes amateur radio
identification seriously

The ARRL report:

The FCC has proposed fining a Georgia ham $1000 for alleged failure to
properly identify. David J. Tolassi, W4BHV, had been warned last August
about not following the Commission’s Part 97 ID rules. The FCC said his
“deliberate disregard� of that warning warranted the proposed penalty.

“Mr Tolassi…has a history of failing to comply with the rules governing the
Amateur Radio Service,� the FCC said in a Notice of Apparent Liability for
Forfeiture (NAL), released on July 22. As the NAL recounted, agents from
the FCC’s Atlanta Office used direction-finding techniques to locate the
source of a signal on 14.313 MHz to Tolassi’s residence in Ringold, Georgia.

“The agents monitored and recorded transmissions during which Mr Tolassi
failed to transmit his assigned call sign,� the FCC said. “The agents
interviewed Mr Tolassi later that evening, and, while he admitted operating
that evening, he denied making the unidentified transmissions.�

Nonetheless, the FCC determined that Tolassi “apparently repeatedly
violated Section 97.119(a)� of the rules. The Commission pointed that it
could have assessed a forfeiture of $16,000 a day for a continuing
violation, but it settled on a $1000 fine.
