Thank you in seventy three, I hope you enjoy it. The FCC has threatened to find a Ham radio operator. This is in twenty twenty three. This is today. The article was posted yesterday. So for all of you that say the FCC doesn't do anything, they're never gonna come after
you. They're blah blah, they're just waiting around and you're never gonna get in trouble. I heard that a lot from GMRS folks. Oh nobody cares. Just do what you want to do, use your UV five R on GMRS. Blah blah blah blah, just do what you want to do. Well, guess what the FCC is finding or threatening to find a guy for interfering with a net. Check this out. So in California, there's this net called a WARFA net. It's Western Amateur Radio Friendship Association. Okay,
and again I found this article yesterday. Now this video will post a few days from now, but at the time of this recording, the article was posted yesterday. Says the California man faces possible twenty four thousand dollars fine for allegedly playing recordings during an amateur radio net and not providing his call sign.
Now you know these jack wagons, okay, if you've ever listened to a net on two meters or seventy centimeters or even an HF net sometimes, okay, you know these idiots that key up and play music or just try to cause interference for no freaking reason at all. I suggest to you, I submit to you my theory on the reason that people do this. Basically, they are sixty five years old, living in their sisters or their their wife's basement, and they've run out of things to do. That's a theory I
have. I don't have any proof for that. I've just that's just a theory that I'm going to toss out there, and I'd like to know what you think about that theory. In the comments blow Philip Baudette Baudette Boudette, however, you say that has issued has been issued a notice of apparent liability.
There's a lot of ambiguous terminology in this article apparent liability by the FCC for apparent quote apparently willfully and repeatedly interfering with radio communications on the Western Amateur Radio Frequency Association while it is attempting to hold a regular schedule NET and for failing to provide his identification on image radio frequencies. Well, yeah, yeah, okay, you're gonna key up and interfere with a with an ongoing net. You're not gonna You're not gonna, I D I mean, why would
you? I D say, Hey, this is casey five HLBB, here's some music while you're keyed up during your net click. You know, no, no, nobody, This guy didn't have the guts to do that. People who interfere with the net really, do you have nothing in life better to do? I mean, I know a lot of a lot of my friends in him radio say why I hate nets? I don't like nets at all okay, but none of my friends go and and willfully try to interfere with the net and play music over it. I've heard k m Ordi say
several times, I don't like checking in the nets. I don't like nets. I just bypass him when I Well, that's what you should do. You should bypass a net. When you hear a net, just move on. There's a lot of other radio spectrum you could be on right now. Okay, So there's a difference between not liking a net and not caring about nets and trying to interfere with nets. And seriously, you guys interfere with nets, what's wrong with you? Seriously? You know, takes of meds
or something I don't know, crying out loud. So he's not gonna give his call sign, but this article gives his call sign. November six Peanut Jelly Butter. I thought that said PB and J, but it don't. November six, Papa Juliet Bravo Bodett is licensee in six PJB of Bernie, California. A net is on an on air meeting of local amateur radio operators. So this radio world that they're just describing what a net is okay,
Okay. The FCC said it received numerous complaints about Bodett. It says it's agent went to Burnie three times in late Bernie the city three times in late twenty twenty two, and in each case he heard bought it playing recordings on three dot nine O eight. Okay. So this wasn't even on two meters. When I first read this, I thought, oh, this is a two meter net, because there's there's jack wagons and idiots to play music on
two meter nets that I personally heard. So this was on eighty meters on three dot nine O eight that caused the interference on the wharf a net while failing to provide his own call sign. Again, he's too chicken to provide his own call sign when playing music over a net. It said he at thirty days to pay the proposed fine twenty four thousand dollars twenty four thousand dollars thirty days to pay the proposed fine or to respond with reasons why it should
be reduced or canceled. I'd like to see that. I'd like to see his claim on why it should be reduced or canceled. This video is sponsored by Ham radioprep dot com.

So thank you to Ham Radio Prep for sponsoring this video. His reasons be one nets pissed me off and I have more right to the frequency than everybody else. Or two they didn't invite me to the net. I didn't get a personal invitation and I feel offended and now I need to express my offense on the air. Or three they have canceled the prices right and I no longer have anything to do during this time of day in the afternoon anymore. So I've chosen to do this. There's three reasons that I figured that
maybe he could give. I don't think they're going to get him a reduced fine, but you know, go for it, you know, mister Bodette, if you're watching this video, please feel free to use any of those reasons. I'm not copyrighting them. The FEC citation further states that we caution Bodette that future violations of this kind may result in significantly higher forfeitures and a revocation of his amateur radio license. Well, congrats, congrats. I think
that is awesome. You know what, I really do. I think that is awesome. We get a lot of complaints, a lot of times saying the FEC doesn't do anything, they don't care, they're not going to come after you, they're not going to find you. And let's face it, there's probably no way they could catch everybody that's doing this kind of crap. But at least they're trying. Okay, at least it's something. Now. I am not a big proponent of government agencies coming in knocking on your door
and telling us what we can and can't do. But I'm even less of a proponent of idiots like this guy willfully interfering with amateur with planned amateur radioactivities on a frequency that they have a complete right to be on. These guys, these wharfa guys, have one right to hold a net on that frequency at the timeframe they're doing it. This question comes up a lot about parks
on the air. It's like when you're out calling scupoda and some guy comes by and says, Hey, we're about to start a net on this frequency, would you mind moving. We've had this discussion before. In fact, maybe I'll make a separate video about this specifically. But they don't have a right to that frequency if you were there first, I don't care if they come by and say, we've been running a net on this frequency seven days a week, three two hundred and sixty five days a year for the last
twenty five years. You need to move, You don't. You don't need to move now. As a polite and courteous ham radio operator, I think you probably we should move. If you're on parks on the area, you've been there for an hour and they're saying they're about to start a net. My theory is if they're nice about it, I'll move. I'll be like, yeah, sure, man, no problem at all. Thanks, thanks
for the thanks for the heads up. I'll que us why. But my point in saying all that they don't own that frequency anymore than I own that frequency, anymore than you own that frequency. These guys running the net don't own the frequency. But mister Baudette and his pissed off live he doesn't own
the frequency either. Everyone has the same rights to the frequency. Okay, And if there's someone that's legitimately using the frequency like these Warfa net guys, and someone else like you or I comes by and interferes with them willfully and intentionally, then we are in the wrong because they have as much right to the frequency as I do, as you do, or as anybody else does. Move frequencies, do something else. There's plenty of frequencies out there for
us to use. Don't be a jackwagon even if you're not yet. Well, they're never gonna catch me. They're never gonna catch well, Okay, maybe they won't. I still think you're a complete waste of oxygen for interfering with a licensed amateur radio operator. Or net or other entity on the air because you think your time is more valuable and more important than everybody else's is
