ODV,

Attached is the Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture issued to WA7CQ and Chairwoman Rosenworcel’s statement with regard to it.  I included the public notice sent earlier so that all related documents are in a single package.  In addition, I saw that the Chairwoman tweeted about this case: https://twitter.com/JRosenworcel/status/1534570002531196930?s=20&t=1Z4dUb5r4Jd81vV-TGhQyQ.

I note that the allegation is that the ham used his “his amateur hand-held radio” to transmit on 151.145 MHz.
