Much has been going on the past couple of weeks. I will share the recent Board meeting with you in the next email. However, I want to get this out to the Division right away. As you know, the Hudson Division has been plagued with malicious interference on our VHF and UHF repeaters for years. We have had no relief from the FCC, despite repeated pleas for remedy made by ARRL to the FCC. All requests for help have consistently fallen on deaf ears. In my most recent visit to Washington on behalf of our H.R. 1301 effort, I, along with Chris Imlay W3KD, ARRL General Counsel, had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Peter T. King (R-NY-3) where we discussed this issue. Mr. King, a long time supporter of Amateur Radio and also very concerned about the malicious interference of licensed services, offered to send a letter to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler on our behalf. What follows is the text of the letter. A copy of the actual letter will be available on the Hudson Division website shortly (www.hudson.arrl.org) Let?s keep our fingers crossed. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = January 15. 2016 Honorable Tom Wheeler Chairman Federal Communications Commission 445-12th Street S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear Chairman Wheeler: I am very concerned about a high-profile case of malicious interference to VHF and UHF communications that has affected various radio services, including public safety radio, and Federal Communication Commission?s licensees throughout metropolitan New York City and Long Island. While there are apparently multiple perpetrators involved in this activity, I am told by the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL), the national association for amateur radio, there is one ringleader, whose identity and location of Astoria Queens well known to your Enforcement Bureau. This individual has been reportedly intentionally transmits on a series of amateur radio repeaters, operational frequencies of Rikers Island Prison and NBC radio network?s remote pickup repeater facilities that are used for relay of over-the-air program material. I am told that this individual conducts his unlawful activities essentially daily with the specific intent of disrupting licensed communications. The amateur radio repeaters on Long Island that are rendered useless by this individual are used for emergency preparedness exercises and they were used extensively in Hurricane Sandy disaster relief efforts. In previous correspondence with the FCC, I have expressed my strong concern with interference caused by pirate radio operators, especially when these interruptions have an impact on public safety. This individual has been allowed to proceed without any apparent Commission enforcement for well over two years, despite repeated complaints from ARRL, NBC engineering staff and at least two Long Island amateur radio clubs. I realize that the Commission?s spectrum enforcement resources are limited and that investigations of pirate radio are resource intensive. However this malicious interference has been allowed to continue for too long. Timely and visible enforcement creates a deterrent that is very valuable and lessens the use of Commission resources. I appreciate the actions the Commission has taken to search for solutions that are supplementary to the enforcement of regulations pertaining to pirate radio. However deliberate interference with public safety, broadcast program production and amateur radio public service communications, such as what is exhibited in this case, must be swiftly and visibly addressed in order to achieve this deterrence effect. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to your reply. Sincerely, Peter T.

Much has been going on the past couple of weeks. I will share the recent Board meeting with you in the next email. However, I want to get this out to the Division right away. As you know, the Hudson Division has been plagued with malicious interference on our VHF and UHF repeaters for years. We have had no relief from the FCC, despite repeated pleas for remedy made by ARRL to the FCC. All requests for help have consistently fallen on deaf ears. In my most recent visit to Washington on behalf of our H.R. 1301 effort, I, along with Chris Imlay W3KD, ARRL General Counsel, had the opportunity to meet with Congressman Peter T. King (R-NY-3) where we discussed this issue. Mr. King, a long time supporter of Amateur Radio and also very concerned about the malicious interference of licensed services, offered to send a letter to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler on our behalf. What follows is the text of the letter. A copy of the actual letter will be available on the Hudson Division website shortly (www.hudson.arrl.org) Let?s keep our fingers crossed. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = January 15. 2016 Honorable Tom Wheeler Chairman Federal Communications Commission 445-12th Street S.W.
