You should mention Jack Gerritson, the former KG6IRO holder as the call is now a club station in Torrance, California.

He also has done this to MARS and other services. one occasion he went in to the LA vets hospital and droped off one of his jamming packages, (a handheld and a tape recorder) the vet hosp police detained him and called the bomb squad to destroy the suspicious package, and they billed him for that action also. you can find more info on this guy at arrl.org .bob Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] off topic : Jack Gerritsen ex kg6iro
I know this is a few days late but thought I would pass this on.bob Hello All, Today about 08:45 In El Monte Court, Division 4 Judge Craig Mitchell held the sentencing hearing for Jack Gerritsen. The Judge acknowledged over 80 Emails as well as a stack of letters from the regular mail. He said he read them all. Three persons were permitted to speak, the Victim who brought the charges, Deputy Burton Brink L.A.S.D. who has been quite active in getting Gerritsen prosecuted and myself. We all painted him as a sociopath who had no regard for the rights of others and a propensity to interfere with emergency communications. The Judge told Gerritsen that he was no more than an adult version of a school yard bully as proved by his own testimony that he kept getting bigger amplifiers until no one could talk over him. Judge Mitchell acknowledged the Amateur service as providing a valuable public service in times of emergency. The Judge handed down a sentence of 120 days less 5 days for time served followed by 3 years of probation. a fine of $1000.00 + assessments which came to $3876.00 and must be paid within 1 year. The Maximum sentence would have been 6 months but at the end of that six months Gerritsen would have been free and clear. the 120 day sentence allowed the 3 year probation to follow. Probation conditions: 1) Gerritsen may not transmit on Ham radio without a valid FCC License. 2) He can not violate any law. A Penal Code 136.2 protective order was issued for the Victim and 3 other individuals. Gerritsen's Federal trial will be early in October. Plans are to select a Jury in the October 3 to October 5 time frame. When the actual date is available I'll forward it. Some letters of appreciation should be sent to DA Rusty Moore's Supervisor. Rusty put his heart and soul into prosecuting this case. Personally, he called me a half dozen times during the trial for information, and recordings. I know that he also contacted others as well. Rusty even offered to meet me at my home and at my convenience to discuss the Gerritsen case specifically and Ham radio in general. I doubt if any DA has ever put forth more effort in prosecuting a case than has Rusty on this one. A special thanks to those who have assisted in this case with their letters and other information as well as the (approximately) 41 persons who more than filled the courtroom at todays hearing. ___ Try Juno Platinum for Free!
