Another bad boy... Glen Rubash KC0GPV of Manhattan, KS, has been fined $4000 for operating an unlicensed transmitter on 88.3 MHz

According to his story... the pain medication made him do it. Either that, or his (previously unmentioned) students swapped transmitters on him without his knowledge. Alllllllllll righty then.

OK, someone switched the transmitter in his absence and the one field engineers inspected was not certified. Then to make life interesting the antenna was not authorized. So, in December of last year an NAL was issued, we read about it at a later date as I remember. Now another was issued in November of this year, so since I don't remember the amount of the first one does this one reflect a reduction of the fine?
Now here's the question of the ages, did it take him this long to figure out that somebody switched transmitters or is he just trying to weasel out of it?
We are the FCC. You must pay $4,000. Resistance is futile.

Station powered by atomic energy, operator powered by natural gas.
Running 100KW is what tipped off the FCC. If he'd have done this on .313 there would be no sanctions.

However, if he'd shown a titty via SSTV they'd be all over him like a cheap suit.Originally Posted by K7SGJ
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I thought there were a bunch of stations passing some nekkid wemens pix on SSTV awhile back. Did they get busted? No pun intended.

Yeah and if they weren't hot, did they at least have big, you know,
Let's see.......pain medication......operating illegally on 88.3....nope I don't see the connection....a great excuse though....it does'nt make much sense,but makes for great copy....
Why,driving into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour, would I expect it not to hurt!

It's stupid anyway. Low power unlicensed radio is like pot IMO. As long as you're not interfering with a licensed station within its city grade contour, why should anyone even care? This is just another way the government sucks money out of people.
Adjusted your station dial slightly for more reality, as the government wouldn't give two shits about this if Hollywood wasn't lobbying the "piracy" issue to death.
