An investigation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) results in a
large fine against a California amateur radio license holder. A Notice of
Apparent Liability Forfeiture (NALF) for $24,000 has been filed against Phillip
J. Beaudet, N6PJB, of Burney, California. According to the filing, the penalty
is for Beaudet "willfully and repeatedly interfering with the radio
communications of the Western Amateur Radio Friendship Association (WARFA)
while it was attempting to hold a regularly scheduled net and for failing to
provide station identification on amateur radio frequencies." FCC agents used
direction finding techniques during November and December of 2022 to track the
interfering signals to Beaudet's home station. Agents "heard him playing
recordings on 3.908 MHz that caused interference to the ongoing WARFA net while
failing to provide his assigned amateur call sign," the document stated.

It's called fox hunting! :). The guy is
constantly transmitting noise to block
out the group's transmissions, and he&s
probably got a good antenna and
high-powered radio and/or amplifier..
You then just have to point some
directional antennas around and find
the signal.
