VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
March 5, 2010
Mr. James W. Taylor

Re: Amateur Radio License N9TOT
Warning Notice
EB-10-GB-0022
Dear Mr. Taylor:
The trustees of K9WZ have requested that you refrain from use of their
repeater. The trustees of K9WZ attempted to contact you via certified
letter, but you refused service. You were previously issued several
requests to refrain from using the system, but failed to comply with those
requests necessitating the formal written request for 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 K9WZ - and any other similar
requests to cease operations on any other repeaters by any other repeater
licensees, control operators or trustees.
Use of K9WZ 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
