[W3WN]

Wow, the FCC Daily Digest is suddenly bursting with Amateur Radio miscreant-related items.

Today's lucky winner: David Tolassi W4BHV of Ringgold, GA. And it involves one of the more infamous Frequencies That May Not Be Named that Over Yonder used to get their drawers in a bind with, name, 14.313 MHz.

They specifically mention that he got a harsher punishment (Forfeiture rathe than another NOV) than some other miscreants because he is a repeat offender.

Of course, it is only for $1000.

Couldn't have happened to a better schmuck... His arrest report in Georgia from February of last year (domestic assault) is quite a read.

I've heard him more than once attacking rag chew groups I've frequented.

As they say in the south "bless his heart".

He was forced to re-test as a result of actions of this nature on 20M. Of course, this resulted in a reduction of privileges.
