Ham Operator Faces Fine for Disruptions to WARFA Net

(1/3) > >>

Charlie_Dont_Surf:
This is the same net that the (now former) W6WBJ* used to (still does?) jam.

I'm genuinely surprised to see the enforcement. Things got so bad that the WARFA Net webpage has a link to the FCC complaint inquiry form: https://www.warfa.org/

* William Crowell, ex-W6WBJ ("World's Best Jammer"), finally had his license denied renewal in 2020, after a long saga.

Sidenote: Some wiseass thought it would be funny to get Crowell's old callsign as a vanity callsign. (I actually heard that guy using that callsign last year.) However, he was probably getting a lot of hell for it, since Crowell's infamous antics were despised throughout the west. It looks like it was terminated 12 days later (https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/licenseAdminSum.jsp?licKey=4676357) and that person reverted to his previous vanity callsign.

PIGS KNUCKLES:
Good, he was probably jamming OMIK also, seems racially motivated. All those guys were fun to work and friendly, geez its called the friendship net and I think some ministers run it, glad he got caught, there is no room in ham radio for that   

MDK2:
Ironically his QRZ page claims he's not active on the air anymore. No idea if it has said that while he was jamming or if it's a recent edit.

Jack Haden:
Excuse my ignorance, what does "WARFA" stand for?

Stretchyman:
Google is your friend, or maybe not??!!
