VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
February 18, 2011

Re: EB-11-GB-0002
Amateur Radio License KC2AAY
Warning Notice
Dear Mr. Schwoer:
The trustee of W2HRW has requested, by letter dated September 28, 2010,
that you refrain from use of this repeater. The written request was issued
as a result of an incident that occurred on September 17, 2010, in which
you got into a dispute with several other amateurs operating on the
repeater ultimately resulting in threats being made to these other
amateurs. You have failed to comply with the formal written request and
instead were heard and recorded operating on the system on February 13,
2011, at approximately 8:20 PM.
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 W2HRW - and any other similar
requests to cease operations on any other repeaters by any other repeater
licensees, control operators or trustees.
Use of W2HRW 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

Northeast Regional Director
