Not this guy again...

You'd think this guy woulda learned after his first trip to the joint for unlicensed radio-ing. He's been harassing LA repeaters for at least the last 6 months.

I wonder what it took to get the FCC involved.

Probably not much. I know at least one guy had submitted recordings, and they didn't have to wait too long to find him on either 146.4 or 146.415. Those are the #1 or #2 places he would hang out.

Not necessarily, he was jamming a friends repeater and some others. My friend went to Jacks house and verified the jamming was coming from his house. Jack is obviously mentally ill.

It goes without saying he's got some issues. I guess he didn't learn enough from jamming the Catalina Island repeater and a MARS exercise on its own repeater several years ago. Maybe he just likes jail.

Nothing will happen. The FCC regional director Lark Hadley, Region 3 Enforcement Bureau has bigger fish to fry. "You are hereby warned" 'Strong letter to follow.'

Jack has 10 days to reply and my $$ is on Lark issuing a monetary forfeiture citation, which Jack will either not be able to afford or will ignore like the last one that put him in prison. And there is not much Jack can say in a reply to the FCC that would cause the FCC not to issue a monitory forfeiture citation, I suspect the field agent was thorough enough for a conviction. Not only does Jack have some mental issues, he is downright stupid living less that 2mi away from the Cerritos, CA FCC office. A field agent could just monitor him live at his door while on his lunch break.

Lark worked for iHeart radio, Rush Limbaugh and other conservative broadcasters before the FCC and I would assume he would be sympathetic to Charlie Kirk. If so, that's his choice. Whether that sways his judgement as a Govt employee is another matter.

I heard at least one repeater owner complained to the FCC. It probably got a higher priority being a repeat offender.

He won't go to jail for this. Jack was jailed for interfering with public safety, not hammy ham repeaters.

Otherwise, his years of frolicking on CARA and other places would have stopped a lot sooner. He probably owes $100K in FCC civil assessments but will likely never pay a dime. That he got a "strongly worded letter" is about all will happen, other than perhaps another uncollectable civil penalty.

He got the same letter as anyone caught operating illegally. They laid out the problem/violation and he has 10 days to respond then he will be assessed a fine. He will not pay the FCC fine then the FCC sends it to a federal judge who will order him to pay, which he won't or can't then the judge will toss him in prison. Same result as last time.

From the letter: "Because unlicensed operation creates a danger of interference to important radio communications"

It's not like it was a public safety agency repeater or aircraft comms.... He made some Hams mad. I don't agree with what he did, but should it warrant jail time?

No but it should warrant a fine. Jail comes when you ignore the fine.

I think they would start with just taking the money, might be able to file for bankruptcy, but you can only do that every few years. Not sure how all of that works. But if he could pay the fine (even unwillingly) there should be no jail (I hope).

At his age and with this behavior, you'd think they could have him declared incompetent. Give him an FRS radio and sit him in front of the window at the nervous hospital.
