As much details that we have are in the following email chain. Laura is working from home in Carlisle but you may contact her there at 717-245-9160, if you need her assistance for further information. Will you please confirm for us whether or not you will notify the two amateur operators of the threats to them and their families? Please get back to us as soon as you can so we can let upper management at HQ know what is being done. Thanks, Robin I’ll follow-up with a phone call as well.

Laura wanted to be sure that this information was passed along appropriately, so I told her I'd send it on to you. Should local law enforcement officials be contacted? We're happy to provide any additional information to help you decide what to do with this. Thanks for your help, Suzanne *** Non-Public: For Internal Use Only *** Suzanne M. Tetreault Deputy Chief, Enforcement Bureau 418-1769 From: Laura Smith Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 9:54 AM To: Suzanne Tetreault Subject: FW: Treaty Suzanne: I sent this to Mike this morning, but am also following up with you. As you can see from the email below (see the email from Todd Daughtery), I received a threat to an amateur via an email last night and am seeking direction on where to report the threat. Thanks! Laura Laura L. Smith, Esq.| Special Counsel | Enforcement Bureau | Federal Communications Commission | 1270 Fairfield Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325| 717-338-2577 (phone)| 717-338-2574 (fax) From: Laura Smith Sent: Thu 11/12/2009 8:58 AM To: Mike Moffitt Subject: FW: Treaty Mike: I received the email below last night. As far as I can determine, Todd Daughtery (who is a licensed amateur) does not actually use his amateur radio much any more. Most of his activities are confined to on-line stuff. I believe he has a blog of some sort. He and the Karol referenced below (who is Karol Madera -- a Canadian licensee) have been engaged in a long-running war with some American licensees at 14.275; Karol on air and Todd on-line. Normally I just delete the emails I get from Todd and Karol as they involve internet issues and we don't regulate the internet. But as you can see, Todd has made an overt threat against some other amateur licensees (Brian Crow and Tom Whatley are both amateur licensees). Why he cc'd me on this threat I cannot begin to fathom. Since he has made an actual threat, I am seeking your advice on how to proceed. Do I report this -- and if so, who do I report it to? Thanks. Laura Laura L.

But it seems that Brian Crow, Tom Whatley and the others aren't going to take it, in fact on the ham board NIM BUSTERS has stated thay are going to file complaints...BAD MOVE. It seems the ONLY thing these individuals see in hurting me, SO since they aren't going to take my offer, and hurt me by screwing me out of a pilot license, I'm going to SCREW them by hurt they think the enjoy....their family. It would be a sad thing that they are out one day playing soccer and their son head is split open by a bullet, or they arrive home and their house BLOWS UP. I'm done with these idol threats, Since they want to go this path, and the Goverment seems not to care, it's time to end this...I tried to stop it peacefully but well...as you know it doesn't seem to want to end that way. http://ve7kfmcom.blogspot.com/2009/11/treaty-for-ve7kfmcom.html http://nimbusters.org/hams/read.php?board=1&id=98162 Todd Daugherty N9OGL
