[bars] Ignore and Report Unlicensed Stations

[Kyle Rogers]

Hi Folks,

I just got an email from the MMRA about a bootlegger/pirate/unlicensed
operator. He's been heard in the Quincy area, so we might not hear him up
here but it's good to be aware. Here is the text of the MMRA email:

The Minuteman Repeater Association (MMRA) has been tracking down a repeat
offender, a Pirate/Bootlegger.

This person was using the call W2RFW (“Dean, from Milton”) a few months
ago; the real Dean, W2RWF (note the reversal of letters) has verified that
it was not him.  When he was revealed to be a pirate, he switched to the
call KC3JLY (“Curtis”) and has recently been heard on the Quincy 146.670
repeater.  The real KC3JLY (in Bangor PA)  has been contacted and assures
us that it is not him.   This offender has been reported to the FCC.

Be aware that you should not engage with this imposter, as it is contrary
to FCC Part 97 rules  If you hear him, ignore him.

However, even though we have a log of some of these transmissions IF YOU DO
HEAR HIM please log whatever you can.  If possible, switch to the input of
the repeater and log the signal strength and your location and time.  This
may help us locate the pirate.  The MMRA Board of Directors has confirmed
these findings.
