[AMRadio] Can they 'really' know?

The role of the OO is not to visit amateurs that may be causing an
on-the-air problem. Typically, they send out advisory notices as needed
and/or submit good operator reports as warranted. Problem cases are
reported to the ARRL and they determine whether further action is
necessary.
