VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
January 29, 2008
Travis L. Maltese
294 CR 289
Edna, TX 77957
RE: Subject: Amateur Radio license AD5CT: Warning Notice
Dear Mr. Maltese:
The trustees of the W5DSC and K5SOI repeaters have requested in writing
that you refrain from use of the repeaters. The letters were issued as a
result of your failure to follow operational rules set forth by the
licensee/control operators of the repeater systems for their users. You
were previously requested verbally to refrain from using the system, but
have apparently ignored both verbal and written requests.
The Commission requires that repeaters be under the supervision of a
control operator and not only expects, but requires, such control
operators and licensees to be responsible for the proper operation of the
repeater system. Control operators may take whatever steps are 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 we expect you to abide by the requests to stay off
the W5DSC and K5SOI systems and any other such requests by repeater
licensees, control operators or trustees. If you use these repeaters again
after receipt of this letter, we will initiate enforcement action against
your license, which may include revocation, monetary forfeiture (fine) or
a modification proceeding to restrict the frequencies on which you may
operate AD5CT. Fines normally range from $7,500 to $10,000.
Please call me at 717-338-2502 if you have any questions about this
matter.
Sincerely,
W. Riley Hollingsworth
