MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted: August 2, 2001 Released: August 6, 2001
By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order (``Order''), we
cancel the proposed monetary forfeiture in the amount of
$7,500 issued to Kornwell Chan, licensee of amateur radio
station W3CI, for apparent violations of Sections 97.101(a),
97.101(d), 97.113(a)(4) and 97.119(a) of the Commission's
Rules (``Rules'').1 The noted violations involved failure to
operate an amateur radio station in accordance with good
amateur practice, willful and malicious interference with
radio communications, transmitting music on amateur radio
frequencies, and transmitting unidentified communications or
signals.
2. On March 10, 1999, the Commission's Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania Field Office issued a Notice of Apparent
Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in the amount of $7,500 to
Mr. Chan for the noted violations.2 On September 1, 2000, Mr.
Chan submitted his amateur license to the Commission and
agreed not to operate his amateur station until September 1,
2003. He has not operated his amateur radio station since
turning in the license. In addition, Mr. Chan has submitted
financial data demonstrating that he is unable to pay the
proposed forfeiture. Accordingly, we conclude that
cancellation of the proposed $7,500 forfeiture is warranted.
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections
0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,3 the forfeiture in
the amount of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500)
proposed in the March 10, 1999 NAL issued to Kornwell Chan IS
CANCELLED.
4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall
be sent by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to Kornwell
Chan, 1919 Audubon Drive, Dresher, Pennsylvania 19025.
