The FCC has affirmed a
proposed $22,000 fine against Michael Guernsey, KZ8O, of Parchment, Michigan, for repeated instances of interfering with other
amateurs and failing to identify. Guernsey had
asked that the fine be reduced or eliminated due to economic hardship, but the
Commission upheld the full fine, noting that complaints against him went back
more than a decade and that he had ignored repeated written warnings.
In another enforcement
action, the FCC has proposed fining David Tolassi, W4BHV, of Ringgold, Georgia, $1000 for repeatedly failing to identify his
station.
