Dear Mr. Grim:
On December 19, 2016, you were heard by staff at the Commission’s High Frequency 
Direction Finding Center (HFDF), using long range direction finding techniques, playing music 
in order to deliberately interfere with the ongoing QSOs of other amateurs while operating on the 
frequency of 7200 kHz.  
The Commission employee used direction finding equipment and confirmed the 
transmissions were coming from your location.  The employee recorded the offending 
transmissions and provided undersigned counsel with recordings of the incident in question.  
Should you desire a copy of the recording, one will be made available to you. 
 
Your operation as described above is contrary to the basis and purpose of the amateur 
radio service as set out in Section 97.1 and is a violation of Section 97.101(d) of the 
Commission’s rules.
