I own a small radio shop that I handle through the week, and have a stedy Night/weekend job as a regular income.
I havent been in business for too long, about 1 year. I have been working on radio systems, for many years, but have never had to file a complaint to the FCC.
One of the systems I look after is used for Emergency Management. Theyre operating on 156.180. A co-worker runs dogs and hunts, and he has told me before him and his buddies use marine radios. I keep telling him that if he gets caught, bla bla bla, he says...OK what ever.
The other day the EMA was using the radio for official EMA business. I get to work, and the guy I work with tells me he heard someone talking on the marine channel they use, and he told me what he thought they said. I happened to be listening to the radio traffic on the EMA channel, and could tell that what my co worker was explaining to me was the EMA's radio traffic. This guy told me him and his buddies run on channel 63, which I see is 156.175. I see a potential for interference. I would like this taken care of, even if it means the co worker getting a letter from the FCC. At least they would stop using the marine radios. They have not interfered with the EMA's communications yet, but I see the potential for it, and would like to stop it before it happens.
Looking through the FCC's website, I am not seeing an easy way of doing this, and was looking for some info on the steps I would need to take to get the report to the right place.
Any help is appreciated.
