VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Warning Notice
EB-10-GB-0051
Dear Mr. Caprio:
The owners/trustees of K9TLT, K7MCH, K7MPR, K7FY, N7DPS and K7RLW have
requested that you refrain from use of their repeaters. The
owners/trustees of these repeaters advised you of this request in writing
on December 2, 2009. The week of March 22, 2010, you were observed
operating on the K7MCH repeater. Since you have failed to comply with the
request of the repeater owners/trustees to refrain from use of their
repeaters, they requested Commission action on this matter.
The Commission requires that repeaters be under the supervision of a
control operator and not only expects, but requires, that such control
operators be responsible for the proper operation of the repeater system.
Control operators may take whatever steps they deem appropriate to ensure
compliance with the repeater rules, including limiting the repeater use to
certain users, converting the repeater to a closed repeater or taking it
off the air entirely.
Please be advised that the Commission expects you to abide by the request
of the owners/trustees that you stay off of the following repeaters:
K9TLT, K7MCH, K7MPR, K7FY, N7DPS and K7RLW. You are also advised that you
must comply with any other similar requests to cease operations on any
other repeaters by any other repeater licensees, control operators or
trustees.
Use of any of the above-mentioned repeaters again after receipt of this
letter could subject you to severe penalties, including license
revocation, monetary forfeiture (fine) or a modification proceeding to
restrict the frequencies upon which you may operate.
Sincerely,
Laura L. Smith
Special Counsel
