Eric, I have been A victim of theft myself and do not like it. I feel all such people, when caught, should be shot on sight. Then Strung up on the Rack. Then Hung. Then strapped into the Electric Chair. Then face A firing Squad, again. And finally, if there is anything left, force then to physically hold the antenna of an operating 100KW FM Broadcast Station!
It is my understanding, but others please correct me if I'm wrong, Stealing from or otherwise interfering with the operation of A Federally (FCC) Licensed Radio Station, be it A big TV station or A little Amateur Operator, under the LAW, is basically the same thing? Sure, the Dollar amount will probably be different. However both Stations hold A Federal License to operate, Right? Does this not make it A FEDERAL OFFENSE? I am just asking the Group for A little Heads-Up here, not wanting to start another crazy thread. However, It that was me and I ever discovered the identity of this low-life, Piece of excrement, Should it then ever impact the rotating atmosphere oscillator, I would fully prosecute to what ever extent the LAW would allow, including FEDERAL charges! Just my little Humble Opinion........ Bruce Bagwell KE5TPN If You Can Read This, Thank A Teacher. If You Are Reading This in ENGLISH, Thank A Veteran or Current Soldier! Support Our Troops!
