AC1DD Caught Baiting All Stations On 7.200 mHz. Why Do People Talk To This Guy?

With stations on one frequency all talking over the talk of each other and someone playing music, one has to wonder, do these people have JOBS? Do they have families?

While Joe Italiano doesn’t show up on 7.200 all that often, when he does, the whole character of the frequency changes.

Before you play the video, check THIS out! Joe is a known pedophile, a know-it-all who takes great pride in baiting other stations, hoping to start a fight, gaslighting anyone who doesn’t hold the same freakish left wing views as he does, and generally being the worst nuisance in all of Amateur Radio. Joe is the proud recipient of several FCC-issued NALs (Notice of Apparent Liability), Formal Notices of Interference and probably some other things. He allegedly beat his wife so severely that she got an emergency restraining order against him several years ago just before she filed for divorce. Joe claims to be the (onetime) president of NAMBLA – North American Man-Boy Love Association. WARNING: If you follow that link, you will probably be GREATLY OFFENDED. This is SICK STUFF! This has apparently been verified. READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE. Yeah, Joe Italiano is a real piece of work, worthy of the highest Dirtbag Award he could get. One day when I get a little better with Photoshop, I’ll m.efore I present MY recording from tonight, here’s a real goodie from a few years ago.  Joe at is best.  Note, Joe has had many different call signs.  PARENTAL WARNING:  This is NOT suitable for children!

Well, now that THAT’s out of the way, Here’s a recording I made last night. I trimmed it way down, because, well, people have short attention spans, and 90 minutes of audio might bore you to tears.

Latest FCC Enforcement Actions

The Federal Communications Commission is still active and actively investigates violations of FCC rules, particularly in the area of interference to Public Safety Services and Broadcasters.

This week, the Commission issued a Notice of Harmful Interference to the operator of an HDTV antenna system that somehow managed to interfere with the normal operation of the Massachusetts State Police.  Go figure.  A NOTICE, as issued in this case, does not carry the penalty of a fine, however, when the operator of a device which emits RF energy is notified of interference complaints, it is up to the operator to take immediate steps to remedy that interference.  Either by reducing power, changing the properties of the device so that it no longer interferes with the complaintant, or ceasing operation of the device, whichever solves the problem.  Failure to stop interfering with the licensed service can, and usually does lead to a Notice of Apparent Liability – which is a fancy way of saying a fine, or further, judicial steps taken by the FCC to remedy the situation.   In most cases, the mere issuance of a Notice of Harmful Interference is quite fortunate, as the person served with that notice has time to fix the problem before getting a fine.  In some more serious cases, such as interfering with communications in the Air Bands, the offender is usually tracked down, arrested, and charged with any number of crimes.  Interference on the Air bands, used by private, commercial and even military aircraft to communicate with ground control and other aircraft carry heavy penalties.  This guy got off easy!

Dmitriy Groysman was Issued a Notice of Harmful Interference for operating a 2002 Newest HDTV Indoor Digital TV Antenna that was generating spurious emissions in the 813-817 MHz band and causing harmful interference to the Massachusetts State Police.

The notice is viewable below.
