VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED

Warning Notice
Dear Mr. Waddell:
The trustee of K9TSU has requested, by email dated February 10, 2014, that
you refrain from use of his repeater. The written request was 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 written request.
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 K9TSU - 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
