    FCC to KB9RFO: No License For You!

    KB9RFO's Petition for Reconsideration is denied, and his license has been revoked.

    Primary reason:

    I can 110% agree with that one...

    That old BS about "requisite character" which the FCC knows won't hold up in a real court of law but is used in so many FCC ALJ decisions.

    I fail to see any logical connection between any criminal act and ham radio.

    Sorry if that statement upsets anyone, I seldom allow myself to take part in a feeding frenzy over what amounts to a corpse.

    Wasn't a similar ruling overturned recently?

    Bee-sides...Chris Hansen knows where 'Chester' hangs out, and these days it ain't on ham radio.

    While I detest what they guy did I must in this case agree with Mac. If this were the case we should pull all convicted felons tickets including those with DUI's. While I do not know the standing policy on this if enforced I feel that it should count across the board no matter the crime.

    That is correct. It takes a real pinhead ham to bring these things to the FCC's attention and stir it to enforcement.

    You expect quick action from the Federal Government?
