[SOC] no more OO's

[Curt Steger]

I know a few people that did not get along with an OO or two. They got a 
notice for some of the dumbest things on a regular basis for years. One 
ham received two notices for two FM simplex reports within an hour of 
each other from the same OO. One said he was over deviated, the other 
said he was under deviated. When I read them I fell over laughing.

Another ham I am friends with got an OO notice for not discussing 
amateur radio on a repeater.

I never heard them violate any rules with the exception of the 10 minute 
ID everyone misses now and again. Funny thing is they never got a notice 
about that.

Never received any OO toilet paper via the USPS, but still glad to see 
this program go away. Honestly, I miss seeing the real enforcement out 
and about.
