VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
March 30, 2009
Mr. Cory M. Herttua
9560 Fuerte Drive
La Mesa, CA 91941-4111
Re: Warning Notice
Amateur Radio License N6HHT
EB-09-GB-0030
Dear Mr. Herttua:
The owner/trustee of K6JSI has requested, by letter dated February 25,
2009, that you refrain from use of this repeater. The written request was
issued as a result of your failure to follow operational rules set forth
by the licensee/control operator of the repeater system for its users. You
were previously issued several requests to refrain from using the system,
but failed to comply with them necessitating the formal written request.
You have failed to comply with the formal written request and have been
heard operating on the repeater on an almost daily basis between 7:00-7:45
and 11:45-4:45 since the February 25, 2009, letter was sent.
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 owner/trustee that you stay off of K6JSI - and any other similar
requests to cease operations on any other repeaters by any other repeater
licensees, control operators or trustees.
Use of K6JSI 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
Cc: San Diego Field Office
Western Regional Director
You were verbally advised by two controllers in the presence of two of
your family members to cease operations on the K6JSI repeater.
Fines normally range from $7,500 to $10,000.
