Dear Mr. Adams:
The trustee of N5JEP has requested, by letter dated January 2, 2017, that you refrain from 
use of his repeater.  The written request was issued as a result of your failure to follow 
operational rules set forth by the licensee/control operator of the repeater system for his users.   
You have failed to comply with the formal written request.  
The Commission requires that repeaters be under the supervision of a control operator 
and not only expects, but requires, that such control operators be responsible for the proper 
operation of the repeater system.   Control operators may take whatever steps they deem 
appropriate to ensure compliance with the repeater rules, including limiting the repeater use to 
certain users, converting the repeater to a closed repeater or taking it off the air entirely.
Please be advised that the Commission expects you to abide by the request of the trustee 
and/or control operator that you stay off of N5JEP– and any other similar requests to cease 
operations on any other repeaters by any other repeater licensees, control operators or trustees.  
Use of this repeater again after receipt of this letter could subject you to severe penalties, 
including license revocation, monetary forfeiture (fine)
1
 or a modification proceeding to restrict 
the frequencies upon which you may operate.  
Sincerely,
Laura L. Smith, Esq.
