ARLX005 Licensee Hit With $24,000 Fine for Jamming Net, Failure to
ID: FCC
An investigation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
results in a large fine against a California amateur radio license
holder.
A Notice of Apparent Liability Forfeiture (NALF) for $24,000 has
been filed against Phillip J. Beaudet, N6PJB, of Burney, California.
According to the filing, the penalty is for Beaudet “willfully and
repeatedly interfering with the radio communications of the Western
Amateur Radio Friendship Association (WARFA) while it was attempting
to hold a regularly scheduled net and for failing to provide station
identification on amateur radio frequencies.”
FCC agents used direction finding techniques during November and
December of 2022 to track the interfering signals to Beaudet’s home
station. Agents “heard him playing recordings on 3.908 MHz that
caused interference to the ongoing WARFA net while failing to
provide his assigned amateur call sign,” the document stated.
