Great Caesar's Ghost.!~!~! Reminds me of 1992, or was it 1991? Too old to remember exactly. It was April. First day of trout season. Raining. Got back home with my son and his award winning brown trout. Now a wall hanger. My XYL said that I had had a visitor, but he'd be back. Sure he was. John Rahtes, Field Engineer from the Philly office. Showed him the station (turn tables, decks, compressor/limiter, etc). Flipped on the rig at his request. Yeah... 7415 lit up. Got the "TALK". He left.
Later found out that I was not alone. HOPE RADIO got the pinch, and two others (I think). Radio Free OZ had been #4 "with a bullet" on an FCC press release. Not sure about several others; probably all lumped into OZ.
Got a letter that they wanted $1k or it was gonna go to $10k. I responded that the deal was $1k,... but nothing about 30 days. Sure enuf... about a month later came a letter from the Feddy DA for the 3rd area. I called. We talked. Told him about the $1k. Told him about their specious claim of "interfering with health and safety frequencies". Told him how we had to go QSY when VOA (Africa) came on with megawatts. He started to whimper that it wasn't worth his time for $10k, let alone $1k. So I shouted, "Then, FORGET IT.!~!~!" [heh heh heh]
Never heard from them again. ;-)) AHhhhhh the mammaries.....

LOL! Reminds me of "Uncle Charlie" coming after my Uncle and his CB buddies in the early 70's. God forbid the DX-60 was out of it's "secret drawer" at his ragchewing desk.
