'No Hunting' posted on 2-metres

A purported hunter has been warned to stay off of the
2-metre ham radio band.

In a November 17th letter to Donald M. Blake of Fife Lake Michigan, the FCC charged that on February 10, 2005, that Blake were operating unlicensed amateur radio equipment on the frequency 144.050 MHz. This, while he was hunting
in the area of Wexford county.

FCC records showed that Blake is not a licensed radio amateur and has no authority to operate on that frequency.

He was warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a license is a violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act and will subject the operator to a fine of up to $10,000 or time in jail.
