The fcc has no real power for fines. They refer it to the justice department for collection.

Note the Supreme Court decision from Friday 6/28/24. Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. The Court overruled their Chevron case from 1984. This will restrict the alphabet agencies rule making authority, forcing them and lower courts to adhere to the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946 again. Also, they decided SEC v Jarkesy on Thursday 6/27/24 that requires the SEC to seek financial sanctions in regular Article III federal courts (where the defendant can have a jury trial by 7th Amendment right) and not their in-house Administrative Courts. This may have an effect on big fines civilly attached by alphabet agencies by fiat. These are important decisions for the average citizen.

The FCC is understaffed and has been for a decade. Their priority is wireless services and interference in these services. Broadcasting is even in the back seat now so you can imagine where ham radio and 27 Mhz and UHF CB radio fit into their enforcement plan. One thing that is common with every service and that is if you don't interfere, you will never hear from them. I have been dealing with the FCC for over 40 years and the question today when you call them is, "Are they interfering".

As you said, it's not specified what the 'intentional' interference was. I did in fact make a mistake when using winlink on my Yaesu FT-8900. I use a SignaLink sound card with the radio. The SignaLink has a vox transmit switch. So...I left the power to the SignaLink on and retuned the radio VOR to a repeater. My computer got a bit crazy and began to send sound to the SignalLink. The sound was some digital mode, but not sure what. The radio activated its transmitter as expected, sending random noise to the repeater. As soon as I noticed the problem, I turned off the SignaLink. I hope you learn from my mistake. Booming on the side, Jim N4FAF

It would be interference if you were transmitting it on top of someone else or were doing it with the intention of preventing others from using the repeater. Running digital modes over an analog repeater is fine though. Just be sure to get permission from the repeater's operator first.

Side boom. I thought you said side boob 😂. I gotta research what happened. I wanna know the outcome. Thanks for the video.

Good morning ‘Sideboom’ Jason, kc5hwb, Paul kfØaot here, Colorado Springs, how are you this morning? I’ll keep this short since your probably busy. Nice shack you have there, is that a Kenwood behind you? I was watching an unrelated video a bit ago, and at the end there appeared a recommended video of your quiet repeater story, first time I’ve ever had that happen (a Ham related video, not just a recommended video, but I digress)! I made a note of the 146.52 repeater, I was unaware of it’s existence, as I am most things ham, could you elaborate some on how to access it? The repeater I’m using here, 147.345 (+600), sits on top of Pikes Peak and, I’m told, is a linked repeater although I cannot tell you to What it’s linked. I think a number of repeaters across the front range, but I do not have a list of what repeaters nor do I know how to get a list of those repeaters. You might be able to tell I’m not on the air much here. I am a severe weather watcher, trained through the Pueblo NWS station, and I am a ‘member’ of the local weather Net here, which is the extent of my involvement with amateur radio I’m sad to say. I don’t get out much these days (disabled/retired law enf.) but, on the bright side, I am listening in most of the day. I said I was going to keep this short, didn’t I. Anyway, I enjoyed both of your videos and subscribed as well. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos, which I will do after I eat! Take care! 73’s!

Does the FCC give any warning or put the station on any type of probation? It would seem that that operator should be more aware of the responsibility and privilege's that is given to him for his license. Anyway, I completely feel "moobedis" about this entire matter! It was preventable. Jason, I agree with you about the need for ARRL doing a follow-up. It would be interesting to know the rest of the story! If the ARRL took the time and effort to report the violation, then it would be nice to know the entire story! It just might help another amateur better understand the consequences of violating the FCC rules. Perhaps this guy had no technical clue as to his chosen hobby!? Ignorance is no real excuse, especially if we are legally granted the privilege to operate a radio! Since the amateur radio licenses got watered-down years ago, most amateur radio operators do not have the technical know-how or care to really take care of their equipment or operate on the air. This isn't CB radio! Its a privilege to earn the amateur radio license and if a licensee isn't up to the task, then they will most likely pay the consequences. I only hope that more amateurs who earn their license has a desire to understand and learn the technical part of this hobby.

What are the odds it being a mistake finding a location of the suspected interference being the location of a ham operator that is licensed to operate in the frequency that is receiving interference and them not allow the fcc to inspect the station? Refusing to let them examine your station is already grounds for license revocation.

Sideboom is not what that guy is saying. He is saying I don't need to follow the rules. The FCC says otherwise.

With or without any sideboom, if you just own it and stop it, they are satisfied. Bulling up? Not so much.

The sideboom to go along with this is that it did get referred to the DOJ, and Laterne entered into default judgement. Louisiana Western District Court case number 2:21−CV−02428, USA v Laterne. A writ of garnishment was issued.

There's more text describing how this "other" operator got an 18,000 fine. I certainly don't know the full story, but something strange is going on with this sideboom. --AG6QR

I'm not up on the latest ham lingo as I have been out of ham for 30 years, just getting back into it. WTF is "sideboom"? Even googling it I was not getting much because the term is used for a few things. And I went through three pages of google results. As an aside, I might be getting back out of ham yet again but will renew every 10 years as I have been in case of emergencies. Never mind why I might go inactive again. Not going to say but there are many reasons. Too bad too because I just bought a TH--D75 which was not cheap! And no, I won't sell it because I can listen to stuff on it. I'm a radio nerd and sell nothing once I acquire electronics. One thing about the TH-D75 is it's very easy to accidentally hit the PTT and kerchunk. If a fly landed on the PTT it might activate it, very little pressure needed. Then I have to ID on whatever frequency by giving my callsign and then say " Sorry, accidental transmit". So now I have to keep it in xmit inhibit most of the time. No other handheld I've ever owned has posed this problem but it's not a deal breaker for the rig.

Sideboom on the side. If you do an extended burnout at a stop sign right in front of three or four police officer's you are probably going to get a ticket. If you are jamming a repeater for an extended time you have greatly increased your chances at an FCC visit. Pretty simple. Police and the FCC catch only a small portion of offenders but if you are going to serve yourself up then don't complain about the results.

Just wondering how the agent(s) verified it was him as they did not mention that. Did he do the alleged conduct while in his car, motorhome, house. If in his car, then yeah, I can believe it, if in a motorhome, still plausible, but in his home?? Did he let them in, did they observe through a window? If they observed tru a window, was is via a telescope, and listen on the repeater input frequency?? Too many questions!! That said if he did do the alleged things, he should have penalties as this shows badly for all Amatuer Radio operators!
