Stay off this repeater!

Darin W. Colville, KM0Q, of O' Fallon, Missouri, is among the latest to receive a warning from the FCC that tells him to stay off of several local area repeaters. In this case it is the St. Charles Amateur Radio Club's WB0HSI systems on
145.33, 146.67 and 444.650 MHz.

In its June 2nd correspondence to Colville, the FCC quotes a letter from the repeaters trustee to KM0Q. That letter requested Colville not use the repeaters as a result of his failure to follow operational rules set forth by the licensee and control operators of the system for its users. It also notes that Colville was verbally requested to refrain from using the system, but have apparently ignored both verbal and written requests.

The FCC then advises Colville that it expects him to abide by the request to stay off the WB0HSI systems and any other such request by any repeater licensee, control operator or trustee.

It warns him that if he uses the repeater again after receipt of its letter, the FCC will initiate enforcement action against his license, which may include revocation or a fine. The FCC warns that fines in these cases normally range from $7,500 to $10,000.
