FCC levies $25,000 fine on California Radio Ham

In the USA the FCC are taking decisive action in a case of deliberate
interference to an amateur radio net

The ARRL report: The FCC has imposed a $25,000 fine on William F.
Crowell, W6WBJ (ex-N6AYJ), of Diamond Spring, California, for
intentionally interfering with the transmissions of other radio
amateurs and transmitting prohibited communications, including music.

The penalty represents the full amount proposed in a December 2015
Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL), and, the FCC said
in a lengthy August 2 Forfeiture Order (FO), “is based on the full
base forfeiture amount as well as an upward adjustment reflecting Mr
Crowell’s decision to continue his misconduct after being warned that
his actions violated the Communications Act and the Commission’s
rules.”

The Enforcement Bureau recounted that its agents and the High
Frequency Direction Finding (HFDF) Center monitored Crowell’s
transmissions during the WARFA Net on 3908 kHz on August 25 and August
27, 2015. The agents and the HFDF Center observed Crowell’s Amateur
Radio station “intentionally interfering with other amateur licensees
by transmitting on top of other amateurs, and repeatedly interrupting
amateurs using noises on the WARFA net, recordings and music, so as to
not allow them to transmit on 3908 kHz,” the Forfeiture Order said.
