VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Warning Notice
Dear Ms. Hodges:
The trustee of W4BLT has requested, via a certified letter dated August
23, 2010, that you refrain from use of the repeater. A copy of this letter
and the corresponding completed signature card are enclosed for your
convenience. The request was issued as a result of your failure to follow
operational rules set forth by the licensee/control operators of the
repeater system for its users. You have failed to comply with the formal
written request, necessitating 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 control operator that you stay off of W4BLT - and any other similar
requests to cease operations on any other repeaters by any other repeater
licensees, control operators or trustees.
Use of W4BLT 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
