This is a little out of date, but should give a little background info for
those who are unfamiliar with "BIG AL"...

HICKORY, NC [UPDATE]: The FCC wrote General licensee John A. Abernethy,
K4OKA, July 27, 1999, modifying his license to prohibit operation below 30
MHz for 180 days, effective immediately. Unless he appeals the action,
Abernethy may not get back on HF until January 22, 2000. The FCC letter
included a copy of a tape recording--supplied by complainants--of
transmissions said to be of Abernethy's station on July 16. Hollingsworth's
letter described the tape as "consisting of deliberate interference on 3.965
MHz." In the letter, FCC Attorney Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, noted that
Abernethy had been warned about deliberate interference at the time his
station was inspected last January. Abernethy has 30 days to protest the
sanction. FCC personnel inspected Abernethy's station January 21 and 22 in
the wake of what Hollingsworth called "longstanding complaints from other
amateurs and from our field offices." In particular, he said, the FCC had
received "numerous complaints" about profanity, obscenity, deliberate
interference, and failure to properly identify. Other complaints to the FCC
alleged that Abernethy had aired something called the "Porkbutt Song," the
letter said, "for the purpose of harassment or deliberate interference."
Hollingsworth said the FCC's High Frequency Direction Finding Center in
Maryland tracked the transmissions of the "Porkbutt Song" to K4OKA. The FCC
letter also said the Commission had received complaints that Abernethy had
used AM and upper sideband on 75 "for the purpose of interference" on or
near 3894.5 kHz. Abernethy also was warned in the letter about over-power
operation. Hollingsworth said that the FCC has no plans to start revocation
proceedings against Abernethy "unless we have evidence of continued
violations" of the type the FCC described in its July 27 letter. (For
additional details, see "FCC Takes North Carolina Ham off HF for Six Months"
elsewhere on the AWE news page.)

Well, it's pretty unlikely that the guy who got busted for this back
in 1999 is doing this, unless he's incredibly stupid. The headers on
his newsgroup postings point right back to his pesonal account on
Supernews, and the FCC could subpoena his user info and usenet usage
logs from Supernews in a flash if illegal activity is involved.

More likely, it's some troll who heard about the "Porkbutt" story, and
is having some fun stirring the pot a bit. If he really is creating
interference on 3894.5 and bragging about it here, however, he could
get a guest shot on "America's Dumbest Criminals" for this one -
should the FCC get a copy of this somehow.... :)
