<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:

assisted in an emergency communications drill at work has come forward to
explain why he was contacted about his action by FCC ham radio rules enforcer
Laura Smith. Amateur Radio <span class=SpellE>Newsline's</span> Norm Seeley,
KI7UP, has more:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In his posting to the QRZ.com website, Jeffery
Casselberry, W0WLS, says that last July he volunteered to take part in a state
sanctioned communication drill which was backed by the Missouri Hospital
Association. At that time he was the only licensed amateur in the facility so
he said yes. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:

size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> this drill
took place during business hours while he was on the clock. He explained that
he had built the amateur station for the hospital and with it the facility
better than most in communicating locally and to the state capital.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>W0WLS went on to say that he was so thrilled about
the drills success that what he made what he terms as the mistake of posting
his excitement on the QRZ website. Someone who read it decided to cut and paste
his comments and send them off to the FCC. As a result, W0WLS says that he
received an informal email from the FCC's Smith acknowledging his violation and
requesting a response. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>"Jeff: Again, just so we are clear, Section
97.113 (a<span class=GramE>)(</span>3) of the Commission's rules specifically
states that "no amateur station shall transmit: communications in which
the station licensee or control operator has a pecuniary interest, including
communications on behalf of an employer." This means that if you are an
employee of the <span class=GramE>hospital</span> you may not operate the
amateur equipment on their behalf even after hours or while you are on a break.
The operation of the amateur equipment must be conducted strictly by
volunteers." -- <span class=GramE>end</span> quote.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

say that he does not want to become a poster child for some emergency
communications cause on QRZ.com. He says that he is done with this type of ham
radio activity and it will never happen again. He's even gone so far as to tell
his employer that he is done with this type of radio activity and will take no
further part in it's emergency communications program.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
