OffRoaderX Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Recently a big GMRS youtuber posted a video about the repeater-jammer, callsign WRTD259 in Steelton PA that got busted by the FCC for jamming a repeater. In that video the youtuber reads the public FCC violation notice and displays the FCC public notice of violation on the screen - you can see the full, public complaint against WRTD259 here: https://www.fcc.gov/document/jonathan-gutierrez-licensee-station-wrtd259-steelton-pa Now SOMEONE has filed a notice of privacy-violation against that video, demanding that all personal information about the jammer be removed from the video.. Of course, there is no way to know exactly who filed the notice.. But if we were to guess who filed the notice, hypothetically, it would seem funny that a jammer would demand everyones attention while jamming, but does not want any attention after he gets caught.

People learn from mistakes. Smart people learn by hearing about other’s mistakes. Regulatory non-compliance is publicized so that others are aware of the rules and consequences. marcspaz, WRXB215 and WRUU653 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcspaz Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 @OffRoaderX I'm sure you let the moderators know that it's public knowledge and publicly available information from the US federal government. Did they respond at all, beyond a boot on the neck? WRUU653 and WRXB215 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easier and less hassle to just spend 15 minutes re-editing the video, re-upload it, and get 2X as many views and get paid 2X as much, in addition to the payout from the first video.

ULTRA2 Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I thought once you apply for a license that the licensee's address is on record!!!

burntradiouser55 Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 I have nothing to hide im still not cool with his video but I got into radio cause I always loved electronics Somewhere along the way I heard things that made me angry I felt bullied and I took out my frustrations on the radio I owned up to my mistakes and have apologized to the community. I will never stop loving electronics and will never let this happen again. Hope to some day be on the air again.

WRYP521 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 YouTube won't allow public information to be transmitted if it could be used to identify an individual. Google has been brought into court as part of various doxing charges between 2 people and changed its rules about that years ago to help it avoid those costs.

73blazer Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 They cited him among the main offenses, for use of a non-certified GMRS radio on GMRS frequencies. That, is very interesting. How'd they know that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notice doesn't say that though and they're usually pretty specific and accurate about their actions and words. It says they just monitored the transmissions Quote in response to a complaint of intentional interference to the 462.625 MHz repeater in Mt. Holly, Pennsylvania, agents of the Enforcement Bureau’s Columbia Office monitored the transmissions from station WRTD259 on the frequency 467.625 MHz and observed the following violations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borage257 Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 1 hour ago, WRXD372 said: tamped' so that the FCC knows what radio you are using Each radio has its own RF signature due to inconsistency in manufacturing and assembly of components. Has something to do with how quickly and cleanly a radio comes up to selected frequency. Interesting and DEEP in the weeds. Apparently you can use a sdr dongle and some plugins to explore this concept. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_fingerprinting https://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/~gruteser/papers/brik_paradis.pdf https://www.rtl-sdr.com/using-an-rtl-sdr-rf-fingerprinting-and-deep-learning-to-authenticate-rf-devices/ WRYV757 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
