Amateur Radio Newsline Report 1436 - February 18, 2005
The FCC has written to the Frito-Ley food products company seeking assistance in keeping its delivery drivers from operating illegally in the 10 meter Amateur service band. In a late January letter to Terrell Woods of the Frito-Lay Fleet Safety Office in Plano, Texas, the FCC details instances where on December 8th, 2004, drivers have been alleged to be operating on 28.085 MHz. The FCC goes on to note that operation of radio transmitting equipment without a license is a violation of the Communications Act and could subject drivers caught operating radio gear without licenses to fine or imprisonment, as well as seizure of any non-certified radio transmitting equipment.
