Some of us are old hands at CB'ing but,others are not ! This page is for those " Newbie's " and a reminder to us all, that Linear's or Amplifiers are " Illegal on 11 Meters " (CB Band).
There was a Web Site that advertised it sold linear amplifiers, it was called " Exports R US CB Radios ". This is what happened to them :

Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554
In the Matter of ) ) Stephen Fowler ) d/b/a Exports R Us ) File No. EB-00-OR- 104 Pineville, Louisiana ) NAL/Acct.No. X3262010
NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE
Released: September 28, 2000 By the Enforcement Bureau, New Orleans Field Office:
I. INTRODUCTION
1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, we find that Stephen Fowler d/b/a Exports R Us (``Exports R Us'') has apparently violated Sections 2.803 and 2.815 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'') by marketing an unauthorized external radio frequency power amplifier.1 We conclude that Exports R Us is apparently liable for forfeiture in the amount of seven thousand dollars ($7,000).
II. BACKGROUND
2. Exports R Us operates an Internet Web site offering numerous external radio frequency power amplifiers for sale. The Internet Web address for this site is listed as `http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/CBs313/Index.html'.
3. On May 24, 2000, an agent from the Commission's New Orleans Field Office (``Field Office'') ordered an external radio frequency power amplifier (Palomar White Face, Model 225) from Exports R Us for use in the United States for operation in the Citizens Band Radio Service.
4. On June 7, 2000, the Field Office received the external radio frequency power amplifier from Exports R Us.
III. DISCUSSION
5. Section 2.803 of the Rules prohibits the marketing of radio frequency devices, including the sale or offer for sale of such devices, that do not conform to the Rules. Furthermore, Section 2.815(b) of the Rules states, ``[a]fter April 27, 1978, no person shall manufacture, sell or lease, offer for sale or lease (including advertising for sale or lease), or import, ship, or distribute for the purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or lease, any external radio frequency power amplifier or amplifier kit capable of operation on any frequency or frequencies between 24 and 35 MHz.'' 2
6. The external radio frequency power amplifier received by the Field Office on June 7, 2000, amplified radio signals on 27.185 MHz.
7. Based on the evidence before us, we find that Exports R Us willfully3 violated Sections 2.803 and 2.815 of the Rules. Pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Rules,4 Guidelines for Assessing Forfeitures, the base forfeiture amount for importation or marketing of unauthorized equipment (radio frequency power amplifier) is $7,000. In assessing the monetary forfeiture amount, we must also take into account the statutory factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934 (``Act''), as amended, which include the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation(s), and with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may require.5 Applying Section 1.80 of the Rules and the statutory factors to the instant case, a $7,000 forfeiture is warranted.
IV. ORDERING CLAUSES
8. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Act,6 and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80 of the Rules,7 Exports R Us is hereby NOTIFIED of their APPARENT LIABILITY FOR A FORFEITURE in the amount of seven thousand dollars ($7,000) for violating Sections 2.803 and 2.815 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. § § 2.803, 2.815.
9. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, pursuant to Section 1.80 of the Rules, within thirty days of the release date of this NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY, Exports R Us, SHALL PAY the full amount of the proposed forfeiture or SHALL FILE a written statement seeking reduction or cancellation of the proposed forfeiture.
10. Payment of the forfeiture may be made by credit card through the Commission's Credit and Debt Management Center at (202) 418-1995 or by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to the order of the Federal Communications Commission, to the Forfeiture Collection Section, Finance Branch, Federal Communications Commission, P.O. Box 73482, Chicago, Illinois 60673-7482. The payment should note the NAL/Acct. No. X3262010
11. The response if any must be mailed to Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554, ATTN: Enforcement Bureau - TPSD, NAL/Acct. No. X3262010, and must include the NAL/Acct. No. X3262010.
12. The Commission will not consider reducing or canceling a forfeiture in response to a claim of inability to pay unless the petitioner submits: (1) federal tax returns for the most recent three-year period; (2) financial statements prepared according to generally accepted accounting practices; or (3) some other reliable and objective documentation that accurately reflects the petitioner's current financial status. Any claim of inability to pay must specifically identify the basis for the claim by reference to the financial documentation submitted.
13. Requests for payment of the full amount of this Notice of Apparent Liability under an installment plan should be sent to: Chief, Credit and Debt Management Center, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.8
14. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT a copy of this NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY shall be sent by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to Stephen Fowler d/b/a Exports R Us, 5529 Monroe Hwy, Pineville, Louisiana 71360.

" IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT !"

" I am tired of this nation worring about whether we are offending some individual or their culture, here in the USA. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely comprised of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.

This idea of America, being a multi-cultural community, has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH , not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! ENGLISH.

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, of Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is and always will be part of our culture.

If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. Remember, "Delta is ready when you are and they can have you there by nightfall".

This is OUR COUNTRY , our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But, once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great American freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. "

If you agree with this message, pass it on. If you don't agree, pass it on anyway. This is AMERICA, after all!
