Oops.
He was allegedly using an Alinco DJ-C5 on 465.3 MHz, the jail frequency allegedly at 300 mW.
And this... induhvidual... is, or was, KC5RF.

He was just doing phone patches from the guards to the folks back home.

RIP ALBI-W3MIV RIP RUSS-W5RB RIP BOB-VK3ZL
Maybe he was messing with the guards. Making it sound like or making the guards think they were hearing prisoners talk about breaking out and drug deals.
I remember when businesses like Walmart and some chain restaurants were using FRS radios to conduct business. Kids in the neighborhood would always mess with them.
I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

Interesting that a licensed Amateur doesn't know the rules...
ARRL LINK03/05/2013 On March 1, the FCC issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL) in the amount of $25,000 to Terry L. VanVolkenburg, KC5RF, of Cocoa, Florida. The FCC alleged that VanVolkenburg “apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 301 and 333 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended…, by operating a radio transmitter without a license on…465.300 MHz and for interfering with licensed communications.” VanVolkenburg holds an Advanced class license.
In September 2012, FCC agents in the Tampa Office received a complaint of radio interference from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Department. The Sheriff’s Department -- licensee of call sign WQCW384 -- utilizes a wireless radio communications system in the county jail in Sharpes, Florida. According to the complaint, the Sheriff’s Department experienced intermittent interference to its radio communications in the jail on the frequency 456.300 MHz on at least 14 days during September and October 2012. According to the NAL, audio recordings taken by the Sheriff’s Department suggest “that a male individual interfered with the prison’s communications by transmitting vulgar language, sound effects, previously recorded prison communications and threats to prison officials over the prison’s communications system.”
On October 28, the agents used direction finding techniques and traced the source of the interfering radio frequency transmissions on 465.300 MHz to a residence in Cocoa, Florida. The frequency 465.300 MHz is allocated to public safety stations; as an Advanced class licensee, VanVolkenburg does not hold privileges to operate in this portion of the spectrum. In addition, the FCC’s records showed that no authorization was issued to anyone to operate a private land mobile station at this location.

As Forrest said, "stupid is as stupid does..."
Advanced Class. There is just one more piece of evidence added to the humongous pile of old time Extra's and Generals that regularly make horse asses out of themselves. Most of the QRM and jamming on 75m comes from these clowns.
But never forget, it's those no code idiots coming on board now that are all the trouble...

Please merge with this thread. I was unaware (despite doing a search) that this was already posted.

Done, and we wish the FCC would exhibit this degree of enthusiasm with ALL of the major screwballs whom it's tasked with policing.
