ACMA warns unlicensed radio communicators (Story in text editions only)
The Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) has issued warning
notices to six radio communications hobbyists, citing breaches of the
Radiocommunications Act.
The hobbyists, comprising those using the Citizen Band (CB) and Amateur
Radio
frequencies are from Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and South
Australia.
The ACMA's Field Operations Sections found each were operating on High
Frequency
(HF) frequencies outside the radio bands they were authorised to use.
In addition to warning notices, a number of non-compliant radio
communications
devices were surrendered to the ACMA.

Does anyone know what this is about? Its unusual for the ACMA to do anything
about people using HF rigs on 11m. What rattled their cage?
Is this the fallout from the recent round of "station inspections"??
