Re: WARNING NOTICE

Amateur Radio License W9ART

EB-10-GB-0153

Dear Mr. Visser:

By email dated January 10, 2011, the Commission notified you that it had
received numerous complaints of interference by your station to the Possum
Net. The complaints alleged that during the ongoing interference, one of
the Net control operators called your home phone number and keyed his
microphone while you answered the call. During that call you admitted that
you had been deliberately interfering with the Net for some time. This
conversation went out live to all of the participants in the Net.

You responded to the Commission's email on January 21, 2011, via letter.
In that letter, you acknowledged that you did indeed interfere with the
Net and noted that you went to the Net, admitted that you had been
interfering and stated that you would cease your interfering activities
immediately. In addition, in your letter to me you further took full
responsibility for your actions, admitted to poor judgment and apologized
for your part in the incident.

Your operation as described above is contrary to the basis and purpose of
the amateur radio service as set out in Section 97.1 of the Commission's
rules and a violation of Section 97.101(d). Please be advised that the
Commission expects you to abide by its rules. This letter serves as notice
that, if operation of this type reoccurs after receipt of this letter, you
could be subject to severe penalties, including license revocation,

monetary forfeiture (fines), or a modification proceeding to restrict the
frequencies upon which you may operate.

The person in question had been caught interfering with the Liberty Net, IIRC.

And now the Possums?

Sounds like a Butterfly Net candidate to me.

Fred: Mr Visser has been a known jammer for years. The 75-80 meter has been getting better. Stay tuned.. More jerks to follow ! Thankfully Laura is doing her job.

The 75-80 meter has been getting better. Stay tuned..

Any time I'm in the shack and have receivers on, one is tuned to ~3842KHz and another to 3910KHz. A third prowls the band looking for other things of interest.

Funny thing, though: No one (and I mean no one) seems to be jamming the Liberty Net these days.

Generally, I won't waste my time above 3800. :roll:

[N8YX]

Generally, I won't waste my time above 3800. :roll:

I have enough receivers to go around. Trust me. ;)

Even if I had extra receivers (and I do), I wouldn't waste my time. :roll:

You got an amp running on 75 now? I did not know you monitored those spots.

Last week, we did poetry readings on the Possum Net. Great FUN!

I read this one by Ferlinghetti, and the Beatniks snapped fingers in approval.

The dog trots freely in the street
and sees reality
and the things he sees
are bigger than himself
and the things he sees
are his reality
Drunks in doorways
Moons on trees
The dog trots freely thru the street
and the things he sees
are smaller than himself
Fish on newsprint
Ants in holes
Chickens in Chinatown windows
their heads a block away
The dog trots freely in the street
and the things he smells
smell something like himself
The dog trots freely in the street
past puddles and babies
cats and cigars
poolrooms and policemen
He doesn't hate cops
He merely has no use for them
and he goes past them
and past the dead cows hung up whole
in front of the San Francisco Meat Market
He would rather eat a tender cow
than a tough policeman
though either might do
And he goes past the Romeo Ravioli Factory
and past Coit's Tower
and past Congressman Doyle of the Unamerican Committee
He's afraid of Coit's Tower
but he's not afraid of Congressman Doyle
although what he hears is very discouraging
very depressing
very absurd
to a sad young dog like himself
to a serious dog like himself
But he has his own free world to live in
His own fleas to eat
He will not be muzzled
Congressman Doyle is just another
fire hydrant
to him
The dog trots freely in the street
and has his own dog's life to live
and to think about
and to reflect upon
touching and tasting and testing everything
investigating everything
without benefit of perjury
a real realist
with a real tale to tell
and a real tail to tell it with
a real live
barking
democratic dog
engaged in real
free enterprise
with something to say
about ontology
something to say
about reality
and how to see it
and how to hear it
with his head cocked sideways
at streetcorners
as if he is just about to have
his picture taken
for Victor Records
listening for
His Master's Voice
and looking
like a living questionmark
into the
great gramophone
of puzzling existence
with its wondrous hollow horn
which always seems
just about to spout forth
some Victorious answer
to everything

Yeah - an IC-2KL and AT-500 combo. I'm hoping to get the eastern end of my low-band antenna elevated by a few more feet so that may help out.

Most times when I'm on 3842, 'IXT and his cast of followers (including QRMers) have the frequency tied up until after 11PM EST - so if any Possums are around during the Marconi Net it'll be a struggle to hear them.
