FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Enforcement Bureau
Spectrum Enforcement Division
1270 Fairfield Road
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania 17325-7245
VIA CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
February 22, 2008
Amanda F. Spenlinhauer
1801 Post Road Apt 204
Wells, ME 04090
Subject: Amateur Radio license KB1CQX: WARNING NOTICE
Dear Ms. Spenlinhauer:
The trustees of the N1KMA, N1VAR, KQ1L and the repeaters operating under
the WA1ARN call sign have requested in writing that you refrain from use
of the repeater. The requests were issued as a result of your failure to
follow operational rules set forth by the licensee/control operators of
the repeater system for its users and FCC rules. You were previously
requested verbally to refrain from using the system, but have apparently
ignored both verbal and written requests.
The Commission requires that repeaters be under the supervision of a
control operator and not only expects, but requires, such control
operators and licensees to be responsible for the proper operation of the
repeater system. Control operators may take whatever steps are appropriate
to ensure compliance with the repeater rules, including limiting the
repeater use to certain users, converting the repeater to a closed
repeater or taking it off the air entirely.
Please be advised that we expect you to abide by the request to stay off
the above repeater systems and any other such request by a repeater
licensee, control operator or trustee. If you use the repeaters again
after receipt of this letter, we will initiate enforcement action against
your license, which may include revocation, monetary forfeiture (fine) or
a modification proceeding to restrict the frequencies on which you may
operate KB1CQX. Fines normally range from $7,500 to $10,000.
Additionally, we note that your license expiration date is April 7, 2008.
Please be advised that your license will not be routinely renewed unless
this matter is resolved.
Sincerely,
W. Riley Hollingsworth
Special Counsel
