VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
March 31, 2014

Warning Notice
Dear Mr. Doll:
The trustee of N8ITF has requested multiple times that you refrain from
use of his repeater. These requests were issued as a result of your
failure to follow operational rules set forth by the licensee/control
operator of the repeater system for his users. You have failed to comply
with the formal requests.
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 trustee and/or control operator that you stay off of N8ITF - and
any other similar requests to cease operations on any other repeaters by
any other repeater licensees, control operators or trustees.
Use of this repeater 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, Esq.
Special Counsel
