ARRLWeb: Apologetic Radio Jammer Jack Gerritsen Gets Seven Years, Fines
Jack Gerritsen's reign of terror in Southern California, wait, that's too strong.
Jack Gerritsen's reign of stupid pig-headed obstinate self-indulgence has come to an end with a seven-year prison term and a $15,000 fine. Jack apologized profusely for his transgressions, something he does everytome he's hauled up before a judge for the same offenses.
This judge wasn't having any. He upped the sentence from the prosecutor's recommended 46 months.
I have listened in amazement to Gerritsen's antics over the now defunct audio streamcast from the 147.435 repeater, wondering how the hams out there were able to resist doing this guy some physical harm. Hour upon hour of recorded messages, music, sound effects, and obscene comments were all in a day's enjoyment for Jack.
Bye, Jack. Don't hurry back.
ARRLWeb: League Pledges to Pursue BPL Interference Complaints, Mulling Appeal
After some sanctmonious verbage about how amateur radio deserves protection, the FCC ignored the ARRL and a U.S. representative and cynically denied petitions that would have provided some relief from greed motivated BPL operators.
Faced with evidence that the Manassass operators faked their test to make it look like they were in compliance, the hypocrites at FCC did nothing to provide any real protection to licensed services (other than radio astronomy) who are victimized by BPL interference.
Given results that show that there is non-interfering technology available, the action by the FCC is all the more cynical, allowing non-complying equipment a full year of operation.
So my hope that the newly constituted commission would prove to be less corrupt than its predecessors is dashed. I hope that Rep. Ross, who also asked the commissioners to consider adding protection to amateur frequencies, will show the FCC what happens when you P.O. a member of congress.
