FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Enforcement Bureau
Spectrum Enforcement Division
1270 Fairfield Road
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325-7245
October 30, 2007
CERTIFIED MAIL -- RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Brandon M. Duke
1903 Warren Avenue #202
Longmont, CO 80501
Amateur Radio License KD0BSH (formerly KC0UWS); Case #EB-2006-2820
Dear Mr. Duke:
On January 9, 2007 we notified you that information before the Commission,
as well as your own admissions, showed that you have been operating radio
transmitting equipment on frequencies not authorized to you as a
Technician Class licensee. We reminded you that such operation is a
violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47
United States Code S: 301, and would subject you to fine and imprisonment.
Additionally, we noted that you have ignored requests to cease operation
on repeaters in your area. You were advised of the requirement to heed
those requests in a Commission letter dated January 9, 2006.
In order to resolve these enforcement issues, you have submitted your
license to the Commission to be held for one year, retroactive to July 1,
2007, during which time you will have no authority to operate radio
transmitting equipment.
Please be advised that operation of Amateur Radio transmitting equipment
during this period (until June 30, 2008) would result in enforcement
action against your license, which may include revocation and monetary
forfeiture (fine). Fines normally range from $7,500 to $10,000.
Sincerely,
W. Riley Hollingsworth
Special Counsel
