   Re: WARNING NOTICE

   Amateur Radio License W5KAW

   EB-12-GB-0144

   Dear Mr. Buchanan:

   On Friday, July 13, 2012, you were heard by staff at the Commission's
   monitoring station causing intentional interference to other stations
   operating in proximity to your desired operating frequency of 14.313 MHz.

   On July 13, 2012, at 1727 UTC, a group of amateur operators were
   attempting to establish communications on 14.313 MHZ.  While the group was
   transmitting, you began re-broadcasting a talk radio program on the same
   frequency in an apparent attempt to interfere with their ongoing
   communications.  An employee of the Commission used direction finding
   equipment and confirmed the interfering transmissions were coming from
   your location.  The employee recorded the offending transmissions, and
   provided undersigned counsel with recordings of the incident in question. 
   Should you desire a copy of the recording, one will be made available to
   you.

   This incident constitutes deliberate interference and retransmitting in
   violation of the Commission's rules. Your operation as described above is
   contrary to the basis and purpose of the amateur radio service as set out
   in Section 97.1 and is a violation of Section 97.113(5)(c) of the
   Commission's rules. Please be advised that the Commission expects you to
   abide by its rules This letter serves as notice that, if operation of this
   type reoccurs after receipt of this letter, you could be subject to severe
   penalties, including license revocation, monetary forfeiture (fines), or a
   modification proceeding to restrict

   the frequencies upon which you may operate.

   Sincerely,

   Laura L. Smith, Esq.
