   An investigation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)   
   results in a large fine against a California amateur radio license   
   holder.   
      
   A Notice of Apparent Liability Forfeiture (NALF) for $24,000 has   
   been filed against Phillip J. Beaudet, N6PJB, of Burney, California.   
      
   According to the filing, the penalty is for Beaudet "willfully and   
   repeatedly interfering with the radio communications of the Western   
   Amateur Radio Friendship Association (WARFA) while it was attempting   
   to hold a regularly scheduled net and for failing to provide station   
   identification on amateur radio frequencies."   
      
   FCC agents used direction finding techniques during November and   
   December of 2022 to track the interfering signals to Beaudet's home   
   station. Agents "heard him playing recordings on 3.908 MHz that   
   caused interference to the ongoing WARFA net while failing to   
   provide his assigned amateur call sign," the document stated.
