   Re: WARNING NOTICE

   Amateur Radio License N4TAT

   Dear Mr. Anderson:

   On Friday, November 16, 2012, you were heard by staff at the Commission's
   monitoring station causing intentional interference to other stations
   operating in proximity to your desired operating frequency of 14.313 MHz.

   On November 16, 2012, at 1515 UTC, a group of amateur operators were
   attempting to establish communications on 14.313 MHz.  While the group was
   transmitting, you began re-broadcasting a recording announcing you were
   moving to a different amateur frequency on 14.313 MHz in an apparent
   attempt to interfere with their ongoing communications.  An employee of
   the Commission used direction finding equipment and confirmed the
   interfering transmissions were coming from your location.  The employee
   recorded the offending transmissions, and provided undersigned counsel
   with recordings of the incident in question.  Should you desire a copy of
   the recording, one will be made available to you.

   This incident constitutes deliberate interference and retransmitting in
   violation of the Commission's rules. Your operation as described above is
   contrary to the basis and purpose of the amateur radio service as set out
   in Section 97.1 and is a violation of Section 97.113(5)(b) of the
   Commission's rules. Please be advised that the Commission expects you to
   abide by its rules This letter serves as notice that, if operation of this
   type reoccurs after receipt of this letter, you could be subject to severe
   penalties, including license revocation, monetary forfeiture (fines), or a
   modification proceeding to restrict

   the frequencies upon which you may operate.

   Sincerely,

   Laura L. Smith, Esq.
