THE LIFE OF RILEY
OR WHY MIKEE ‘KALAMAZOO CUCKOO’ ND8V [now KZ8O] WAS “IN LIKE FLYNN” AND
CONTINUES TO LEAD A CHARMED EXISTENCE WITH RILEY ‘ROT’ HOLLINGSWORTH(less)
K4ZDH
An early non-annotated version
of this investigative/opinion article was first published to unprecedented
positive ‘reviews’ on eHam.net in September 2003 before being SPAM’ed and/or
maliciously electronically interfered with (e-QRM’ed) after ~two months by Michael
E. Guernsey Sr., ND8V living on the
outskirts of Kalamazoo, MI and his fellow American amateur radio misfits….
This SPAM/e-QRM, for a
partial example only, initially entailed ND8V repeatedly copying/pasting the
article/comments/obscenities [Mikee can’t write], thereby ‘ballooning’ the
article and making it confusing/impossible for visitors to read….
When ND8V was subsequently
temporarily barred from further postings, he/his slightly more literate
co-conspirators/toadies—chief among them Brian L. Crow K3VR from the outskirts
of Pittsburgh, PA (hereinafter implicitly and/or explicitly Brian ‘The
Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR[1])—resorted to
anonymous character assassination/ad hominem and similar attacks on the
author. This is one of K3VR’s notorious specialties.
These attacks, under such
instructive nomes de plume as GAY1MAN, OFFICIALOBSERVER, etc.,
fraudulently mischaracterized some extraneous materials gleaned off the
Internet and elsewhere. ND8V and toadies can’t read—while Brian appeared to
suffer from a curious sociopathic 180 degree cerebral phase-shift—and
supposedly couldn’t even keep track of the parties in the style of cause in
simple administrative proceedings. ND8V, K3VR and toadies also first
falsely—though predictably post 9/11—accused the Canadian supposedly of being
‘glad that 9/11 had happened’ in particular….
After these posts were in
turn exposed as false and after being removed by the System Operators (SysOps),
ND8V and K3VR and toadies made similar posts under a fictitious Canadian call
sign VE9PMI—but ultimately ‘shot themselves in the foot’ and showed their true
fraudulent American identity, when they accused the author [as a fellow
Canadian] initially of anti-American views and ultimately of treason—against
the United States (US). Obviously, neither Mikee nor Brian can reason….
Finally, ND8V and James R.
Evans, WD4AWO [one of ND8V’s close ‘disordered’ toadies, who dabbles in
cults—see infra] used the comments section in the manner of a
crude/rude/obscene bulletin board/personal message function. Eventually, the SysOps
apparently got intimidated by the ‘heat’ from Mikee, Brian & Co. and tired
of policing these shenanigans as well as the complaints by the author and
‘pulled’ the article altogether…. Shame on Clinton Herbert AB7RG the spineless so-called
Articles Manager and on eHam![2]
Once upon a time in America there
came to be a giant of an organization called the American Radio Relay League
(ARRL).
Much later, there appeared a short,
shy and fundamentally lonely radio amateur with the ‘self-effacing’ call sign
K1MAN[3] [HI].
Sometime, somewhere, somehow yet
later K1MAN came to the rather obvious conclusion that large
organizations/associations, such as the ARRL or the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), in time lose touch with the membership/constituents they are
supposed to serve. This was not news, in that it has always been so.
Unlike others, who only ‘bitched’
about it, however, in ~the mid-1980s K1MAN apparently decided to start a
Bulletin service on 14.275 MHz a la the ARRL’s W1AW in part to poke
sticks into the respective eyes of both one-eyed Cyclops.
Surprise, surprise, the ARRL/FCC did not put K1MAN on their
Christmas card lists.... Rather, they attempted to shut him down. Decades and much
effort later, they appear to have failed, at least to the extent that K1MAN
remains licensed/on the air.
Concurrently and arguably partly as
a result of K1MAN’s so-called “bad example”, a group of rogue Citizens Band
(CB) operators with an amateur licence [and many others without], decided to
congregate on 14.313 MHz which frequency in time became a veritable ‘zoo’[4]. Various misfit groups under such colourful
names/acronyms as ‘Sewer Rats’, ‘BARF’, ‘Stump Jumpers’ and our favourite:
‘Goodfellas’ [HI], populated the frequency. This was during the time when the
amateur spectrum in the US was supposedly ‘self-governing/policing’....
Then, some six years ago the ARRL
reportedly proposed and the FCC agreed to appoint one Riley Hollingsworth K4ZDH
as a ‘radio cop’, to clean up the ‘amateur beat’ generally[5]. In reality, there were only two items on
Riley’s immediate agenda: K1MAN on 14.275 MHz and the mess on 14.313 MHz but
for the obvious and not so obvious reasons, arguably very much in that order.
Unfortunately K1MAN had in the
meantime contracted to teach full-time and as a consequence had to take a
sabbatical from producing the time-consuming Bulletins. So, at a series of
‘hamventions’, Riley the opportunistic radio cop loudly took credit for supposedly
driving K1MAN off the air[6].... This played well at the FCC and among the
‘great unwashed’ and uninformed in the amateur community and earned Riley the
moniker ‘The Rotweiler’. Predictably, this had the same effect on K1MAN as a
scarlet handkerchief has on a bull. K1MAN consequently let it widely be known
that he would be back with a vengeance and as they say in show business, the
stage was set....
In the meantime, Riley continued to
ineffectively try to come to grips with the zoo on 14.313 MHz. ND8V a.k.a. Mad
Mikee and ‘Kalamazoo Cuckoo’[7] to friends and detractors alike, was one of
the chief rabble-rousers, for decades helping to stoke the flames of the
infamous “Radio Wars” thereon. According even to his friends[8], he had attacked Hispanic-speaking stations
“for years” calling them cockroaches and worse, interfered with formal maritime
mobile[9] and informal ‘trucker’ nets and seriously and
repeatedly threatened—on and off the air—any number of amateurs who stood up to
his bullying[10].
Throughout this, despite being
repeatedly informed in writing[11] and otherwise, Riley did virtually nothing.
Then, when even the US Coast Guard reportedly had enough of ND8V’s behaviour
and caused a search to be made of his station, Riley ‘The Rotweiler’ was
finally forced to act: he severely beat ND8V up—with a ‘wet noodle’—by
supposedly[12] suspending his High Frequency (HF) privileges
for a curiously ‘pregnant’ nine months! This again played well at the FCC and
even in the amateur community, to whom 14.313 MHz in general and to many ND8V
in particular, had become such an acute international embarrassment.
Unfortunately, Riley had for some
strange reason also made a ‘Faustian bargain’ with ND8V in part to the effect
that if he behaved himself for the duration of the suspension, he would [surprise,
surprise] be rewarded! All of his past sins were to be forgiven and
forgotten—and what is most perverse—would not, as a result of this bargain, be
used against him in subsequent disciplinary proceedings[13].... Obviously, someone had considered the
possibility—many prophetically said inevitability—of subsequent disciplinary
problems. Who? Why?
Interestingly, as part of this
Faustian bargain, Riley apparently forbade ND8V to operate on 14.313
MHz—something he may not have had authority in law to do[14] and which in any event only moved the problem
elsewhere. But what is truly odd, when ND8V returned to HF—surprise,
surprise ~a month before K1MAN’s published intension to resume his
Bulletins—he relocated to 14.275 MHz! With the entire 20 m Band—or for that
matter virtually all of the amateur HF spectrum—for ND8V to choose from[15], this very arguably was not entirely
serendipitous....
ND8V returned to HF at the
beginning of September 2001 after ‘serving’ only eight of the nine month
suspension[16] and within days was [surprise, surprise]
back in trouble again[17]. Riley was again forced to use the wet noodle,
i.e. to issue another Warning Letter that, for reasons still
unclear, but likely related to the Faustian bargain and 9/11 appears to have
again ‘gone away’ without significant or indeed any consequences[18].
Immediately upon his return, K1MAN was [surprise, surprise] subjected to protracted, organized, vicious and malicious QRM by ND8V and toadies from the zoo on 14.313 MHz now increasingly congregating on 14.275 MHz. Independent echoes of this cabal are still extant on the Web. Interestingly, most of the misfits involved were/are from the 4th Call District[19]. According to some, Riley/the FCC reportedly sat back and listened, but the fact is that they pointedly took no action. Curiously, however, between this relentless QRM’ing and otherwise bad mouthing of K1MAN and inconvenient/neighbouring others, ND8V could be heard loudly praising Riley—in nauseating fashion—the just completed suspension and by now extensive ‘rap sheet’ at the FCC and elsewhere notwithstanding[20].... Things were getting curiouser and curiouser....
Within yet another month, ND8V
organized an attack, this time on a Polish-speaking amateur from New York City
(the New Yorker), on the neighbouring frequency of 14.273 MHz for the twin
‘sins’ of in effect usually speaking in a foreign language [possibly for “terroristic”
purposes, HI] and for being too close to “his” newly chosen frequency.
Now, 14.273 MHz has for only some
fifty years unofficially and obviously non-exclusively, simply been known/used
as the worldwide ‘Polish Calling Frequency’[21]. For the obvious reasons, most thinking
amateurs consider such informal arrangements a very effective and efficient use
of the radio spectrum[22]. But, this was shortly after “9/11” and ND8V’s
apologists say that he should be forgiven for this misguided sense of “American
patriotism”….
Surprise, surprise, this attack on the sometime Polish-speakers
generally and on the New Yorker in particular, had a similar modus operandi
(MO) to that used a year earlier on the Hispanics! ND8V & Co. again in
quick succession organized and/or encouraged his toadies from 14.275 MHz and
others to write two transparently fictitious complaints to Riley against the
New Yorker. Perversely, these involved allegations of ‘perceived’ overly-wide
signals and interference no less[23]—which was/is ND8V’s
notorious specialty and precisely the very misdeeds for which he had been
suspended nine…errr…eight months—backed up by the ‘thinnest’ of malicious ‘drivel’ off the World-Wide-Wasteland.
One complaint concerned chiefly what were clearly fraudulent rebroadcasts of
the New Yorker’s general calls (CQs): the misfits taped and retransmitted his
signals on top of their own and then complained to Riley about it! To even
casual observers/radio-listeners, this was/is the well-known MO of delinquent
CB’ers and together with voice imitations[24], was/is a recognized specialty of the zoo in
general and of ND8V in particular. As such, the complaints were an obviously
‘put up job’.
Nevertheless, without checking the bona
fides of the complaints or their chief instigator/organizer, or apparently
doing any independent investigation whatsoever[25], Riley obligingly quickly issued two Warning
Letters in succession to the New Yorker. These were then published on the
ARRL website. This was/is Riley’s standard operating procedure. Several
knowledgeable and legally trained observers have aptly called this approach to
enforcement “Trial By Press Release”. The ARRL’s by-and-large noble
institutional memory should be offended and ashamed to be party to this[26].
These Warning Letters
emboldened ND8V who was then openly heard bragging to his toadies that he would
drive the sometime Polish-speakers off the neighbouring frequency in general
and the New Yorker off the air and ‘arrange to have him lose his licence’[27] in particular.
Then, two of the sometime
Polish-speakers on and occasional users of 14.273 MHz [one American and one
Canadian] stepped into the breach and attempted to defend their fellow radio
amateur….
Initially, first the American and
then the Canadian helped the New Yorker draft and send three lengthy and
increasingly detailed registered letters of reply to Riley—not one of which
to-date has even been acknowledged!
The American then sent a registered
letter covering an audiotape evidencing malicious QRM and a death threat to the
New Yorker uttered by none other than ‘Dumbo Bobbie’ WD4AWO—one of the original
complainants and ND8V’s regular ‘disordered’ toady from the backwoods of
Tennessee, already mentioned in the Prologue. For some curious reason, Riley
has not to-date deigned to acknowledge this serious incident either….
Over the next several months the
Canadian followed up with some 20 very detailed e-mails, each one evidencing at
least one instance of serious malicious QRM by ND8V and toadies. After
insistent prompts Riley periodically laconically, if inarticulately,
acknowledged some of these e-mails—not to be confused with answering them—but
of course he did nothing substantive about them as usual.
Then, after about six months of
this benign neglect—and worse—and the continuing vicious attacks by ND8V &
Co., Riley finally attempted to placate the increasingly irate Canadian by
advising, in writing, that he would hold a “review” of ND8V’s licence status at
his upcoming renewal date….
Inexplicably, however, a couple of
months later, Riley/the FCC renewed ND8V’s licence without any review whatsoever!
When confronted about this by the Canadian, Riley replied professing utter
surprise and blamed the supposed error on some administrative ‘foul-up’. Others
thought/think otherwise[28]….
Then, after nearly a year of
inaction and irrational ‘flip flops’, the Canadian finally read Riley the ‘riot
act’….
Riley’s reply to this ‘dressing down’ was apoplectic, but informative for a change. He wrote that the Canadian should not bother him with "blow-by-blow" details—each one carefully crafted as a possible exhibit to any number of affidavits! Riley also stated that he had “just noticed” that the writer was a Canadian amateur!! This, recall, after more than 20 e-mails, all except one of which [a forward from the American] were very clearly identified with a Canadian call sign!!! The logical conclusion to be drawn from this is that Riley is either grossly inattentive to detail[29] and/or that he doesn’t recognize a Canadian call sign[30] when he sees one some 20+ times in succession and/or that he is disingenuous[31]. For those not familiar with the last word, look it up under “L” in the dictionary. Irrespective, Riley thereby very arguably proved himself to be unfit for the important position that he holds at the FCC….
In his reply, Riley also
unilaterally changed ‘the rules of engagement’ in mid-stream and suggested that
the Canadian send him audiotapes instead of the detailed “blow-by-blow” e-mails[32].
It is interesting to note in
passing that the form of complaint to the FCC is nowhere specified. In fact, an
FCC Commissioner had shortly before this delivered a public ‘rocket’ to the
Enforcement Bureau [of which Riley is Special Counsel, you might recall] on
this very point. Also, there are serious and possibly insurmountable
evidentiary problems with tapes made by ‘various and sundry’….
Nevertheless, the Canadian subsequently sent Riley a detailed letter covering a tape recording of a typical example, among others, of ND8V’s usual sociopathic[33] QRM. This incident was even independently corroborated by a station from California, part of a Hawaiian net—which was operating 2 kHz down and was contemporaneously also maliciously QRM’ed by ND8V in the same ‘session’—and luckily caught on the very same tape! Despite this ‘double whammy’, from two independent sources that did not previously know each other, Riley never replied to the Californian [a retired Sergeant of police, incidentally] and only grudgingly acknowledged the ‘pesky’ Canadian. But, to that date, he had taken no substantive action on the incidents as usual.
All
the while ND8V perversely continued to ‘suck up’ to and praise Riley on-air as
if he were his ‘long lost bud’ and bragged about unprecedented access to and
sometimes daily telephone[34] contact with him, while practicing attorneys
regularly could not get through.... To subjective and objective observers
alike, things were not only getting ‘curioser and curioser’, but increasingly
bizarre....
Then on 25 November 2002 Riley
wrote ND8V an unprecedented strong Warning Letter noting that the FCC
continues to receive complaints about him concerning the “…appropriation of
certain frequencies[35]…” and “…interference to certain operators”.
Riley inter alia cautioned that: “Any future incidents…even a single incident, will
result in a monetary forfeiture and revocation proceeding against your license”
and requested that ND8V refrain from operation on the 20m Band[36].
This unprecedented ‘…last warning,
to last warning, to last warning, etc....’ was again based on multiple, independent
and well-founded complaints from several amateurs operating tens of kHz apart.
At least two of these complaints were from mature, highly credible and wholly
independent sources who again did not then even know of the other’s existence.
But Riley obviously knew—and gave both the “mushroom treatment”! Interestingly,
both of these sources were also legally trained…. Moreover, one of the
complaints was in addition reduced to/backed up by a very persuasive/extensive
Statutory Declaration[37]….
Surprise, surprise, voluminous and distressingly similar
historical fact patterns and well-founded/drafted independent complaints
notwithstanding, ND8V was able to dispose of them via only one “private”
telephone call to his ‘bud’ Riley! Therein, in true sociopath style [aided by
his “calm voice characteristics” no doubt—ND8V later bragged about this
on-air], he simply described the multiple independent complaints to Riley as
“all lies”. Now, while Mikee unashamedly is an accomplished practitioner of
‘The Big Lie’ approach[38], what is nevertheless so inexplicable and
bizarre in the circumstances is that Riley obviously ‘bought’ this
preposterously ‘thin’ excuse!
STOP
PRESS!
SPECIAL
COUNSEL RILEY ‘ROT’ HOLLINGSWORTH K4ZDH AGAIN SNOOKERED BY ‘CALM VOICE
CHARACTERISTICS’ OF MIKEE ‘KALAMAZOO CUCKOO’ ND8V….
After receiving such ‘unimpeachable
evidence to the contrary’ from ND8V—Riley then shamelessly rescinded the Warning
Letter—before it was even published to the general readership!!!
This raises the logical question:
was Riley incompetent when he initially issued the unprecedented warning to
ND8V—or when he rescinded it based on a simple telephone call from ND8V—or
both?
This again of course only
emboldened ND8V who then sold his perfectly serviceable FT-1000D and bought an
IC-756 PRO—so as to more effectively and literally ‘keep watch’ on and
‘splatter’ the sometime Polish-speakers especially, in what he instructively
called “War Mode”. Subsequently, according to ND8V and toadies, 14.275 MHz and
vicinity were “always occupied”, even when no one was using it[39]! ND8V even published a “schedule” to that
effect on QRZ.com[40] and anyone—but especially the sometime
Polish-speakers—attempting to use any frequency between ~14.270 MHz and ~14.275
MHz would then immediately be ‘stomped on’ and/or [surprise, surprise]
loudly and perversely be accused of interfering with him!
If a few of the dwindling number of
sometime Polish-speakers [soon, there were only two[41]] could not thus be chased off and stood their
ground on ~14.273 MHz ND8V would then threaten them with being reported to his
“friend and lawyer”, Riley. For effect, he would even occasionally pass out
Riley’s direct/private telephone numbers! By this time he also repeatedly
started threatening the Canadian generally and with a report to Industry Canada
(IC), the Canadian equivalent of the FCC [and ~equally ineffective] in
particular[42]. All the while ND8V’s then regular toadies
[chief among them Daniel L. Jeswald ‘Rambo Dan’ W4NTI, James R. Evans ‘Dumbo
Bobbie’ WD4AWO, Ruberd M. Lloyd ‘Rude Rube’ K4RUB and Robert M. Sherin ‘Miami
Boob’ W4ASX to partially name only a few of the licenced and more seriously
unbalanced and guilty], were ready and more than willing in the background to
uncritically back him up in whatever he said or did…. Soon, no one—‘rednecks’
from the 4th Call District and/or ND8V’s usual toadies, sycophants
and unlicenced CB co-conspirators excepted—was safe in the middle of the 20 m
Phone Band! All the while Riley/the FCC and even IC, despite being repeatedly
advised, did nothing….
After only a handful of years of
mayhem, “the more seriously unbalanced”, above, must be recognized for who they
truly are:[43]
All, except apparently for W4ASX are grossly and most even morbidly obese….
The current sycophant ‘second-stringers’—while we’re at it—some of whom, like Brian K3VR appear to be determined to reach the front ranks, are also a motley and patently ‘touched’ lot:
Some of these ‘second-stringers’ are/have also been under psychiatric care [and others arguably should be] and reportedly consume medications in the Prozac and related family of anti-psychotic drugs…. But, we digress….
Returning to the historical chronology, the American subsequently sent Riley more than a handful of registered letters covering some dozen tapes/instances of serious malicious QRM by ND8V. But of course Riley did not acknowledge this considerable effort and expense either….
Then in February 2003 ND8V together
with his toadies organized a series of vicious on-air attacks on the two
sometime Polish-speaking holdouts. That these attacks were also premeditated,
organized and racially/ethnically driven is beyond question. Several amateurs
and even a short-wave listener independently reported ND8V and his toadies
‘laying in wait’ and preparing for them as such. The attacks were on an
unprecedented scale and of ferocious intensity. Many of them literally lasted
for hours! Some again involved repeated threats of death and/or bodily harm….
Fortuitously, all of these attacks were
taped—including the all-important beginnings—both by the American and the
Canadian. This should have ‘put paid’ to who was on first, 1st and
who 2nd [the most basic rule on amateur radio], who attacking and
who defending [the most basic rule in life/criminal law], who calling whom
racial/ethnic slurs, who threatening, etc. Riley/the FCC [and less frequently
IC] were contemporaneously informed and on occasion provided the tapes and/or
access thereto.
But again, nothing constructive materialized—actually, quite the contrary….
Surprise, surprise, ‘Kalamazoo Cuckoo’ ND8V and ‘Rambo Dan’ W4NTI—those paragons [or was that ‘goons’, HI] of American amateur radio—verbally reported the Canadian to IC and the American to the FCC! Because Mikee can’t write, the manner in which they did this is again instructive. First, they repeatedly broadcast the respective and sometimes toll-free telephone numbers [on top of the American and Canadian attempting to communicate] using a continuous taped-loop feature and fraudulently exhorted anyone and everyone listening to call in a complaint that they were being interfered with. Then [surprise, surprise], they conveniently called the numbers themselves! This, perversely, after first viciously QRM’ing and threatening the American and Canadian—for more than three hours—using power levels seemingly well in excess of the legal limit[45], a five element mono-bander [typically directed at the Canadian, because the American was propagationally too close], in purposely splattering War Mode. All of which, including again as to who first properly occupied the frequency, etc., was/is unequivocally evidenced on tapes independently provided Riley by the American as well as the Canadian!!
Surprise, surprise, the ephemeral nature of verbal complaints and the supposed requirement for tapes/hard evidence, etc., notwithstanding, both of these ‘august’ organizations were then perversely apparently speedily preparing to act—against the American and Canadian—the two ‘recalcitrant’ sometime Polish-speaking holdouts—who so “unreasonably” refused to be bullied/driven off any frequency they first lawfully/properly and demonstrably occupied!!!
Almost in desperation, therefore, the American then put a $1,000 US ‘bounty’ for information leading to the arrest, prosecution and conviction of their tormentors/QRM’ers…. Not to be outdone, the Canadian subsequently raised the bounty to $2,000 CDN and for effect added “Dead or Alive”, ‘Texas/Dubya’-style[46]….
In March 2003 the Canadian also
first drafted and whenever seriously QRM’ed read to his American colleague for
comment, evolving versions of The Life of Riley—which
ultimately called for Riley’s removal from the FCC….
Surprise, surprise, within ~a week of the third weekly ‘reading’,
Riley at long last decided to act—in a manner of speaking. He wrote a letter
accusing ND8V of: causing deliberate interference, broadcasting and threatening[47] [the life of the American, no less!]. All of
this arising from just one relatively mild attack in the series—lasting only
about an hour—on 26 March 2003 as patently incompletely reported by some third
party [the identity of which is still unknown].
Riley again categorically
threatened ND8V’s licence with: either a suspension and revocation hearing, or
a loss of voice privileges for the remainder of the licensing term [i.e.
for the following ~nine years]. Yet, despite the unequivocal nature of the
underlying evidence [eventually Riley apparently received at least three tapes
of the same event from three independent sources!] and the relatively strong if
curiously obtuse language used, Riley did not call it a Warning Letter….
Unknown to the American or Canadian at the time, behind the scenes Riley secretly attempted to informally ‘lean on’ ND8V—who initially verbally agreed to a three year voice prohibition on all the HF bands![48]
Unfortunately, in the meantime, W4NTI was overheard organizing a group of southern Official Observers (OOs) who, apparently for a bottle of Bourbon, were prepared and reportedly did depose to Riley to the effect that ND8V’s latest misdeeds, including the numerous independently recorded threats, were “provoked”, etc.[49]
So, when Riley sent ND8V the formal agreement concerning the three year voice prohibition, above, for execution, surprise, surprise ND8V emboldened by W4NTI’s endeavours on his behalf, initially played “let’s make another deal” and re-negotiated it down to two years…. This was even contemporaneously evidenced on the “UnHam” site. Then, once he had Riley ‘wobbly’, ND8V changed his mind one more time and again failed to sign the agreement altogether [he apparently didn’t know where to make his ‘mark’, HI]….
But, since nothing in America succeeds like ‘payola’, ND8V eventually offered Riley $1,000 essentially in the form of a bribe ‘to the charity of his choice’ [or was that to Riley’s ‘bath-house’ fund, HI] and the matter was again quietly dropped….
But, being the petty bureaucrat that he is, Riley obviously did not like having his feet put to the fire, especially in so public a fashion…. Thus, even while appearing to take some action against ND8V [even if most of it was in secret and ultimately unproductive], he also decided to get even—with surprise, surprise, the American—being the only one over whom he had some power. Riley contemporaneously but disingenuously accused the American of conduct “…as bad as or worse[50] than…” ND8V. Now, that is a standard indeed!!! Shame on you, Riley!
Incidentally, this was the only substantive communication the American had ever had from Riley in his life—the ~dozen reports and costly registered tapes he had submitted on ND8V & Co. notwithstanding[51]!
But, no one should be/is fooled. As previously admitted and long suspected in any event, Riley has obviously been sitting near his energized antennas—or as is more likely, microwave oven—for much too long! He has also on at least one public occasion admitted ‘temporary insanity’, supposedly in jest. But, to the extent that his bizarre and erratic behaviour has recurred a number of times over the past handful of years and since for some reason he routinely ‘consorts’ with and gives cover to ‘mental defectives’ who engage in radio-related criminal acts on-air and otherwise, this might not have been/be all that temporary….
Suffice it to say that to knowledgeable radio-amateurs Riley’s self-serving, semi-articulate and even mildly-dangerous musings in general on such basics as who has ‘the right of way’ on a frequency, for example and about ND8V and the American as well as the ‘Polish Calling Frequency’ in particular, in the circumstances do not even pass an American ‘giggle test’….
The American subsequently wrote Riley a strong registered letter challenging him to provide ‘chapter and verse’ underlying the fuzzy allegations or—as befitting someone of Polish extraction—demanding an apology in lieu! Surprise, surprise, in keeping with perfidious Anglo-Saxon and related standard [i.e. irresponsible] administrative behaviour, he of course got neither….
Then, months before his licence was even eligible
for a renewal application, ND8V repeatedly gloated on-air and in writing on the
Internet, to watch what would happen to the American’s renewal, first
intimating and then stating even in writing that it would be “jammed”. Surprise,
surprise, ~three months before his renewal date, the American’s
licence/application was duly off-lined “for review” by Riley, just as ND8V—that
exceedingly ‘well informed’/connected[52] rumour-monger—had
predicted….
The American subsequently wrote Riley two more
registered letters again very strongly and explicitly asking for
reasons/particulars this time underlying the supposed review. Again, of course,
he received none, not even an acknowledgement….
Months into the so-called review and sometime before
his licence renewal deadline, the American almost in desperation sent an e-mail
to Michael Powell, then Chairman FCC [and Commissioners] outlining his perverse
problem with Riley and asking for an explanation/intervention/action. Yet
again, he received no reply from the FCC whatsoever. Curiously, the Canadian,
who had earlier forwarded The Life of Riley
to Powell for information—and regards ‘from an Officer to an Officer’ to his
~famous father, HI—did receive a positive reply from the son generally
acknowledging the problem on 20 m and indicating that the FCC was ‘working on
it’, without more…. That was in the Fall of 2003.
Shortly before the renewal
deadline, the Canadian personally spoke by telephone with the Inspector-General
FCC about Riley’s administratively irresponsible behaviour and the American
subsequently followed this up in writing, together with all the requisite
attachments, asking for an administrative intervention. Shamefully, despite this
double and international initiative, the American received no reply from his
FCC’s so-called ‘internal watch-dog’ either….
So, ~a month after
his licence had theoretically lapsed, the Canadian and American wrote up
another synopsis of the long saga and together with copies of most of his
unanswered correspondence to Riley/the FCC attached for effect—and arguably
most importantly a copy of The Life of Riley
[HI]—sent it all to the American’s Congressman and subsequently to his
Senator….
Surprise, surprise, within four
days the American received more positive and even grovelling replies from
Riley/the FCC—including his renewed licence and in all the circumstances
arguably a virtual ‘Certificate of Unblemished/Exemplary Amateur Operation’ HI,
personally signed by Riley—than he had received from Riley/the FCC in his
entire life[53]!!!
The CANADIAN ‘ARMY of ONE’
By early 2004 ND8V and toadies had been check-mated
both on the American’s renewal and on-air. Not only that, in the meantime,
‘Rambo Dan’ Daniel L. Jeswald W4NTI the self-admitted Paranoid Schizophrenic or
simple Paranoid from ‘Anus-Town’ AL ‘the ancestral home of the Ku Klux Klan
(KKK)’ and ‘Randy’ Randy Best W7CPA one of ND8V’s ‘second-string’ toadies on
~14.275 MHz were at long last cited by Riley for “profanity”, “obscenity” and
“racial slurs”[54].
So, ND8V and toadies then again decided to
concentrate on the Canadian, whom they rightly began to perceive as their most
serious adversary after K1MAN….
In addition to the usual criminal behaviour visited
upon the Canadian previously, the misfits started playing music in general and
infamous NAZI marches, including the Horst Wessel NAZI Party anthem
[still banned in Germany] and Hitler’s Speeches on top of his on-going
communications (QSOs)—at power levels seemingly well in excess of the legal
limit—sometimes for hours on end….
Some say that this was/is being orchestrated in part
by members of the KKK, the American Neo-NAZI movement [the American Amateur
NAZI Party (AANP), only partly in jest, as coined by K1MAN] and/or ‘Brian the
Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR, the 180 degree phase-shifted American dirty-trickster,
who reportedly once attended a psychological operations (PsyOps) ‘workshop’
given by Karl Rove in the basement of the White House [others say in Riley’s
‘bath house’, but this might be apocryphal, HI]….
Nevertheless, there very arguably was/is much
evidence to support many of these contentions. ND8V’s comments on his then QRZ
call-sign listing[55] “if you weren’t born
here you don’t belong here…go home” together with a picture of ‘The Stars &
Bars’, references to the so-called “Liberty Net”, links to virulent Neo-Nazi
supporters of Ernst Zundel, Thomas Robb and other white supremacists,
unashamedly and repeatedly observing “James Earl Ray Day” on Martin Luther King
Day, etc., among many others, refer…. But Riley is still ‘soo confused’…. Or,
is he?
In the Summer of 2004 the misfits again attempted to
report the Canadian to IC—wait for it—again for the very things they were doing
to him/complained of by the Canadian for only some three years by then! The
obtuse one-sentence perverse ‘plaint’ in a weak one-page standard ‘advisory’
letter from IC was that the Canadian supposedly ‘interfered with, played music
and used inappropriate diction’ against these misfits on-air! But, there was
absolutely no documentation—never mind proof—supporting the pitiful ‘plaint’
whatsoever…. In reality, of course, the situation was exactly 180 degrees
removed from the ‘put up’ complaint as usual….
So, despite the fact that the IC letter did not even
require an answer, the Canadian nevertheless penned a seven [7] page letter of
reply—in effect following/paraphrasing Bill A6AYJ now W6WBJ’s approach with
Riley—and ‘ripped his local bureaucratic servant another anal orifice’, HI.
This, together with a succinct and very ‘professional’ cover letter and ~resume
abstract [in the event IC needed to hire some competent staff]—and a copy of The Life of Riley of course—was mailed directly to
the Minister Responsible, suggesting that he send the seven page ‘rocket’,
etc., downward to his minion [a la effluent flows best downhill, HI]….
The Minister, to his credit, did exactly as “instructed” and to very good
effect!
Stymied yet again, ND8V and misfits then resorted to
the Internet, again….
BRIAN ‘The Fraudulent CROW’ K3VR
We have already mentioned Brian ‘The Fraudulent
Crow’ K3VR in the Prologue in general and briefly commented on his escapades on
eHAM where he fraudulently masqueraded as GAY1MAN, OFFICIALOBSERVER and VE9PMI
among other anonymous though ‘telling’ monikers in particular.
Actually, Brian Crow K3VR unequivocally proved
himself a fraud to the Canadian as early as 26 March 2003 when he sent an
e-mail to Riley titled: “14.275 mHz Dekiberate [sic] Interference
Report”. K3VR stated in the first person that he had “copied some VERY
deliberate interference” to his buddy ND8V who conveniently had immediately
before supposedly been given the frequency by ‘a maritime mobile, running 100
watts from Baja, CA’. Surprise, surprise, the supposedly interfering
stations were—wait for it—the American and the Canadian….
The problems with this scenario were/are
illustrative/manifold, but for example:
·
The American and the Canadian were on frequency first, as usual.
·
ND8V came on frequency well after the American and Canadian
began their QSO.
·
Neither the American nor the Canadian even heard a whisper of the
supposed maritime mobile.
·
At 100 watts on a ‘wet noodle’ [~literally] diagonally across the
Continent, ND8V very arguably did not hear the supposed maritime mobile either
[monitor Mikee and you’ll realize that he can’t ‘hear’ signals unless they’re
‘in the red’, HI].
·
ND8V spoke ‘as if’ to a maritime mobile, but in highly suspicious
and ‘bunched up’ terms normally used over/gleaned from a series of two-way
exchanges—and ab initio included/finished with the ‘transparent’ request
to the phantom maritime mobile to be given the frequency if he, she or it
(hereinafter s/he/it, HI) could not make contact [this obviously was Mikee’s
patent objective of the entire exercise as usual].
·
K3VR came on frequency many minutes later and from his questions
it would have been obvious to anyone listening that he was getting second hand
information from ND8V and worse—and even said words to the effect that ‘he
wished he had been there himself, so that he could report it to ‘his friend’,
Riley’….
Why do we aver so strongly that this too was all a
fraudulent ‘put up’ job? Let us do a perfunctory count…. Because the supposed
maritime mobile more than three years later only has a total of 26 lookups on
QRZ? Because ND8V proudly copied the Canadian with K3VR’s e-mail [did we tell
you that Mikee can’t write—or reason]? Because the American and Canadian had
the entire thing on tape? Because Riley received a copy of the tape as well as
at least two copies of K3VR’s fraudulent e-mail? Because the Canadian drew
Riley’s attention—in no uncertain terms—to the disparities between the tape and
the subsequent e-mail? Because anyone[56] can draw the
logical conclusions as to the veracity/credibility of K3VR [and ND8V] from the
record at the FCC? Because, etc., etc….
How do you spell American amateur radio fraud? You
spell it thus: K 3 V R
Returning to the chronology….
Next, in a series of unsolicited, patently hostile/threatening
and initially/ultimately unanswered e-mails in the Fall of 2004 a “Bill Bubba” masquerading as Riley [“ZDH” was
prominent in the Hotmail address], who represented himself as an “officer of
the law” [or was that “lew”—Inspector Cluseau fashion, HI?], “government
employee” and as someone in “Authority”, threatened the Canadian with “a knock
on the door” and similar[57]….
Surprise, surprise, ~a week after
the ~last threatening e-mail, two individuals in ‘poorly tailored’ black
leather coat disguises [HI] did indeed briefly attempt to ‘accost’ the Canadian
in his driveway supposedly for his “anti-American” views [which, we hasten to
add for readers in the ‘Excited States’ especially, even if it were true—which
it is not—is not a crime in Canada, or the USA for that matter]….
The ‘short pushy one’ [the pushy ones are usually
short, HI] was furtively and semi-intelligibly identified as what to the
Canadian sounded like a member of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service[58] (CSIS), the
Canadian equivalent of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA[59])…. The other
said that he was with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police[60] (RCMP[61]) and too quickly
flashed a form of ID purporting to evidence that, without more[62]….
Suffice it to say that after a short, principled and
‘spirited’ dressing down by the Canadian—index finger repeatedly jabbing at the
chest of the ‘short pushy one’ [who wisely retreated in utter bewilderment] and
obliquely referring inter alia to the FCC and most recent IC
correspondence—both so-called “Authorities” left the property in a decidedly
crestfallen manner and at a ‘very high rate of knots’, closely followed by the
by then somewhat irate Canadian, HI….
An Assistant Director CSIS eventually formally
replied to the Canadian in writing: “I can assure you that CSIS is not involved
in, nor responsible for the incident you have described.” This letter, complete
with the impressive CSIS logo, now hangs proudly by the Canadian’s radio
amateur licence, code and Militia Signaller certificates [incidentally, signed
by the late General ‘Boy George’ Kitching, who accepted the NAZI surrender in
North-West Europe in May 1945]. But, what are we to do/make of the fact that
“personating a peace officer” is a criminal offence in Canada?
Irrespective, in the Fall of 2004 the Canadian,
partly as a consequence of the above, suggested to K1MAN and subsequently for
several weeks appeared as a featured and highly well-received “taped guest” on
the innovative and relatively interesting phone-in portion of the K1MAN
Bulletin heard on 14.275 MHz and apparently elsewhere….
This initiative by the Canadian was answered by
continuing stupidities from ~the same group and ~along the same vein…. This
time they apparently attempted to involve the US Secret Service (USSS) using a
false report inter alia about purported knowledge by the Canadian of a
supposed attempt on President George W. Bush’s life during his then upcoming
visit to Canada that Fall….
Surprise, surprise, that also
backfired on the Canadian’s detractors in general and the
feeble-listening/reasoning informant, one Kenneth J. Kozak N9JQM [now W5ACV]
from Oklahoma City, OK who was mis-directed, apparently by ND8V and W4NTI’s
vitriol [and because of the similar MO, very likely as ‘organized’ by K3VR in
the background] in particular[63]….
There were also other stupidities in the same
time-frame/vein.
·
The Canadian’s QRZ listing was altered to show him, surprise,
surprise, in Afghanistan! Way to go, ‘QeerZ’[64]!
·
Unknown to the Canadian until a year+ later, on 12 December 2004 K3VR
in an eHam article about K1MAN seemingly gratuitously took offence to the
Canadian having used the word “buggering”. This was an aide memoire
without more in the context of the film “Deliverance”—referring to ND8V
sometimes squealing like a pig on 14.275 MHz—during a taped interview with
K1MAN subsequently transmitted as part of his Bulletins. K3VR called it a “lewd
reference to homosexual anal sex” [not the first (GAY1MAN and others refer) and
unfortunately not the last such homosexual ‘leap in the dark’ by Brian][65]. In reality,
K3VR was running ‘interference’ for ND8V, who had just been caught in
flagrante further to the mis-appropriation of the Canadian’s call sign and
only two days later was to have the first of the next three ‘Letters from
Riley’ written to him, as discussed in more detail, further below.
·
There were the first, but again unfortunately not last, fraudulent ‘spoof’
e-mails in very poor taste that appeared in every material respect ‘as if’ sent
by the Canadian to others—and to himself, HI….
·
There was the first, but again unfortunately not last ~overt,
unsolicited e-mail from Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR [re-directed three
times as usual]—SPAM’ing the Canadian and others with K1MAN’s typically boring
and overly-long “Editorials” [that he knew from the addressees the Canadian had
already received]—even as he was complaining to the AOL legal and security
departments about, surprise, surprise, K1MAN’s SPAM [K3VR’s typical 180
degree phase-shift MO at work again]!
Then, just a day later, the Canadian received
another unsolicited e-mail similar to that from Bill Bubba, above, purportedly
sent this time by Dave Sumner K1ZZ long-time Executive Vice President ARRL, but
this time from a Hushmail account [also re-directed numerous times] linking to
an ~obscene/defamatory website about K1MAN [known to be Brian’s but since no
longer active].
Later, there was a highly suspicious e-mail
supposedly from John Bolton, the ex under-Secretary of State, then newly
appointed and highly controversial US Ambassador to the UN [who has since
resigned—Ambassadors can be such ‘pests’, see further below, HI], etc.
It is highly probable in all the circumstances that
these suspicious e-mails, above, came from the same quarter generally and/or as
organized by Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR in particular, who has a
well-documented habit of using covert/mis-appropriated/fraudulent e-mail
addresses/redirection services and offshore/anonymous websites….
MAD MIKEE The ‘Kalamazoo CUCKOO’
ND8V
Returning to ND8V and updating his intervening
on-air activities/stupidities, it should be noted that further to yet another
secret arrangement, ND8V was until 7 November 2004 forbidden by Riley to
operate on 14.275 MHz +/- 3 KHz. Note that this instructively left him the
ability to QRM K1MAN then on 14.272 MHz….
Again, why was this arrangement a secret? None of
this of course stopped ND8V from maliciously QRM’ing within that window or
elsewhere on 20 m without ID….
ND8V was also for the better part of a ~half-year
forbidden by Riley to use the same frequency, more than once a week, for his
so-called ‘Floating Toady Net’ [note the name—imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery, HI]. For months ND8V and his radio hooligans therefore were a
‘travelling wrecking crew’ marauding up and down the phone portion of the 20 m
band each week-day morning….
One such marauding incident, involving a “Blind
Net”, was particularly heart wrenching…. Despite pitiful pleas to be left alone
because of the obvious difficulties with changing frequencies—which were
explained by the net control in some detail—ND8V and K4RUB and toadies were
merciless and drove the blind operators off frequency….
In fairness, week-ends were sometimes better,
because they were ad hoc, thanks largely to the wives of these misfits
[most of whom are ~sane and still work for a living], who frowned on these
radio stupidities….
Then, surprise, surprise, within days of
K1MAN returning to 14.275 MHz on 10 September 2004 [according to K1MAN due to
malicious interference by ND8V on 14.272 MHz] Riley gave ND8V permission to
occupy—wait for it—14.272 MHz on a ‘permanent’ basis, thus facilitating his
‘putting the boots’ to anyone—but especially the sometime Polish-speaking
stations—trying to work below 14.275 MHz….
As of 7 November 2004 ND8V’s penance/wandering days
in the radio wilderness were done and he was surprise, surprise, back on
14.275 MHz ‘QRM’ing K1MAN supposedly 24 hours per day’[66] and using his
‘sharp elbows’ interestingly enough only below that—i.e. so as to deny
the sometimes Polish-speakers the ability to operate anywhere near their
‘historic’ calling frequency….
Then, on 21 November 2004—or just a scant 14 days
after his secret partial prohibition to be in the vicinity of the ‘Polish
International Calling Frequency’ had ended—ND8V was again caught in
flagrante….
This time, he was monitored/recorded by someone
[whose identity is still unknown] not only deliberately interfering with
on-going communications but actually fraudulently using the Canadian’s
call-sign, falsely claiming that he was running a net and [again/still]
threatening other radio amateurs. This obviously was another blatant—if
ultimately counter-productive—attempt in the series to affect the Canadian’s
licence with the nearly equally incompetent IC.
This fortuitous turn of events possibly came about
because of the Canadian’s then latest “unique” way of drawing attention to the
intolerable situation on and immediately below 14.275 MHz—by calling Al Qaeda
[using ~all the Arabic vocabulary in ~random sequence that he still recalled
from his service with the United Nations in the Middle East]—and the National
Security Agency (NSA), in the same breath/sentence, HI…. Suffice it to say that
the NSA and the Canadian equivalent apparently ‘leaned’ on the FCC/Riley in no
uncertain terms on this one….
Riley was as a consequence initially forced to send
ND8V a registered letter with a CD recording of these latest transgressions and
request an unprecedented “notarized” response from him within the usual 20 days[67].
Surprise, surprise while ND8V at
first [apparently telephonically—remember, Mikee can’t write] acknowledged
receiving the letter, he claimed that he did not receive the enclosed CD [~‘the
dog ate my homework’ defence, again]! So, Riley obligingly sent him another CD
and gave him 10 more days to reply[68]….
ND8V’s subsequent reply did not fully address the
complaint and express instructions notwithstanding, surprise, surprise,
was not notarized![69]
But, despite this and Riley’s usual ‘boilerplate’ strong
rhetoric [“Enforcement action may range from monetary
forfeiture, removal of voice privileges of license ND8V on all amateur bands,
or (sic) license revocation.”], very little actually happened.
This, because ND8V was again playing secret “let’s make yet another deal”
behind the scenes with Riley…. He even floated ‘trial balloons’ on the “UnHam”
site and elsewhere to the effect that he might “voluntarily” donate $4,000 this
time to Riley’s ‘benevolent fund’ [some again said ‘bath house’, HI] and/or
agree to a three-year voice prohibition, but on 20 m only[70]….
Eventually, in February 2005 ND8V simply disappeared
off 20 m without more [obviously another secret deal was arrived at with Riley]
and the fight against K1MAN and supposed allies was in retrospect again moved
to the Internet generally and QRZ and eHam as well as other covert and
anonymous amateur radio related sites in particular, under—wait for it—the
disingenuous management/tutelage of Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR….
Brian K3VR the CYBERPATH[71]?
K3VR and others then started orchestrating an
unprecedented and highly biased Internet campaign to discredit K1MAN—and anyone
even remotely associated with him[72]….
Fred LLOYD AA7BQ owner of QRZ in concert with K3VR
ran a series of highly skewed forums [fora ?] culminating in effect in
two unprecedented and highly biased ‘popularity’ polls that surprise,
surprise, found that a curious 1001 American radio amateurs favoured K1MAN
being de-listed from QRZ and ~95% supposedly didn’t “like” him and his
Bulletins…. Being “liked” is a pre-requisite for licensing in the ‘Excited
States’ of HAMerica, presumably….
Then, K3VR started several on-line petitions to the
FCC [“NO2K1MAN” and others] and various dirty-trick campaigns elsewhere to
affect K1MAN’s licence, reputation and even livelihood…. This inter alia included
a supposedly 18” thick complaint by K3VR to the Maine Professional Engineering
Society—that had nothing to do with amateur radio whatsoever—and which
ultimately was dismissed, but not before months of turmoil and two formal
hearings!
Other examples abound. Half of the articles having
K1MAN in the title on eHAM, were either authored by K3VR or by a “Matthew
Graves” [of whom much more below] and so ‘kindly supplied’ by K3VR[73]! Numerous
articles having K1MAN in the title on QRZ were either started by K3VR or
rabidly/multiply commented on by K3VR or typically finished by K3VR [he appears
to need to have the last word]. Most of K3VR’s posts on the Internet in general
and on both of the above so-called ‘mainstream’ radio amateur sites in particular,
entailed patent bias, self-dealing[74], “plausible
lies”[75], outright fraud
and even worse…. From the evidence, K3VR used the ‘if you tell a lie often and
loudly enough, some people will eventually believe it’ approach…. Throughout,
Glenn/K1MAN and some of his supposed supporters were conveniently barred from
posting anything on QRZ and eHam in reply/defence! Shame on QRZ/eHAM! Moreover,
the vast majority for what passes for today’s American radio amateurs
apparently either did not even ‘twig’ to the inequities in any of this, or were
shouted down by K3VR or were cowered into falling in line/shutting up…. That is
what passes for American freedom of speech and ‘discussion’ these days.
On these sites [both overt and especially ~covert]
and in his articles and posts K3VR initially incited ‘the great unwashed’
against K1MAN and then rhetorically asked what the FCC should do about him….
Then, surprise, surprise, he gave the answer by pointing them to several
anonymous and substantially fraudulent sites—that he himself set up—including
the petition to the FCC against K1MAN. This, without any disclosure whatsoever
that most of them were his blatant ‘put up jobs’—some, such as K1MAN.org and
K1MAN.net were ‘spoofs’ that to the unwary and/or uneducated or simply gullible
sometimes masqueraded ‘as if’ being the real K1MAN sites….
K3VR even started to repeatedly pontificate—ND8V
fashion—as to what would happen next when K1MAN’s renewal date came up….
Then, several months later [and in retrospect about
a month before K1MAN’s latest Notice of Apparent Liability (NAL) was even made
public], ND8V’s characteristic QRM’ing MO re-appeared with a vengeance on 20 m,
but without benefit of ID….
Those knowing ND8V’s MO/bizarre arrangements with
Riley, immediately realized that something was obviously and seriously afoot….
All became clear on 7 June 2005 when K1MAN’s NAL
formally became public and surprise, surprise Riley overtly allowed ND8V
to return to 20 m generally and to 14.275 MHz and his decades-old QRM’ing ways
in particular…. Way to go Riley!
Suffice it to say that to-date, despite K3VR &
Co.’s frenetic Internet and on-air activity, nothing substantive has actually
happened to K1MAN despite the NAL [and its recent supposed affirmation by the
FCC]—whose operative word still obviously is—wait for it—“apparent”, HI….
Brian K3VR the SOCIOPATH[76]?
In late November 2005 the Canadian consequently
invited K1MAN back on 14.275 MHz in part to squelch some of K3VR and ND8V’s
wild rumours about him thereon[77]….
Stymied on-air as a consequence once again, in
early-December 2005 K3VR decided on yet another Machiavellian trick/tack, this
time initially via e-mail and then the Internet again….
In a series of unsolicited and partially/ultimately
unanswered e-mails K3VR first attempted to ‘suck up’ to and then discredit the
Canadian by fraudulently and covertly changing his preceding original
e-mail comments ‘as if’ against K1MAN [who, because he was the subject of
discussion, was Cc’d by the Canadian, as openness demands]….
Way to go, Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR!
Then, after some more semi-normal commentary, K3VR
introduced the name of and made some negative comments about the Canadian’s
Mother. Predictably, the Canadian came to his Mother’s defence and laconically
simply replied that she ‘spoke, read and wrote in three languages’. In his
reply K3VR craftily changed the subject—and once again covertly/fraudulently
altered the Canadian’s old original comments, transforming them into
unprintable obscenities—‘as if’ written by the Canadian about his own 80
year-old Mother—and expanded the action/info addressees to include most of his
cronies[78] then heard on
14.275 MHz!
How do you spell American amateur radio scumbag? You
spell it thus: K 3 V R
Then, when the Canadian, again for openness, replied
to ‘all’ [there is even a button to that effect in most e-mail packages],
‘Miami Boob’ W4ASX one of K3VR’s close cronies and certified Bi-Polar
mental-defective, ‘took issue’ with the Canadian addressing him in the group….
The Canadian correctly advised W4ASX to take it up with K3VR who originally had
put him on the distribution list. When W4ASX e-mailed the Canadian the second
time, along similar but this time more strident lines, the Canadian bluntly
told him that: he was operating under a mis-apprehension/delusion; suggested
that he ‘suck off Riley, figuratively and/or literally’, the choice being entirely
his; and, advised that he not forget to take his pills regularly, HI[79]….
Surprise, surprise, W4ASX, who
reportedly was a founding member of the “Miami Swingers’ Club” [some of his
ventrilo-friends, chief among them ‘Tom’ N1FM (the ex-N1SOB), are fond of
quoting/teasing him on-air with: “How do you like my wife?”] and an ‘acid head’
in the 1960’s [while the Canadian ‘stood on guard’ for him, at the height of
the Cold War] and gives on-air legal advice without benefit of courses, degree
or licence was, on advice of Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR, apparently
“highly offended” by the Canadian’s admittedly colourful rhetorical diction,
HI….
Within a day of these supposedly ‘private’ exchanges
“Matthew Graves” [a Pulitzer Prize Winner-wannabe apparently, HI], wrote up the
story with the expected hyperbole/sordid twist/defamation via innuendo
and otherwise, saying that the Canadian ‘attacked complainants in the K1MAN
case’ [despite the list of complainants being secret/known only to K3VR],
published it on the Southgate Amateur Radio Club (SARC) website in England and
splashed it around the world on the Internet[80]….
Then, within hours, Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’
K3VR, on an anonymous and unattributed website sonorously/redundantly styled
“Centre for Media Studies Public Interest Research Group” (CMSPIRG), but long
recognized as his by those ‘in the know’, said in effect: ‘lookie, lookie what
I found’, linking to the SARC article in question and embellishing upon it in
suspiciously similar writing style….
Subsequent minimal research disclosed that Matthew
Graves had, within the previous month, surprise, surprise, also
published two very similar ‘poisoned-pen’ so-called “news” stories about K1MAN
on the SARC website, which were shortly thereafter regurgitated, in similar
writing style, on CMSPIRG, eHAM and QRZ…. A sinister pattern was obviously
emerging….
So, the Canadian made the SARC Board of Directors
‘an offer they could not refuse’…. The offending article was promptly removed, an
unequivocal apology was published[81] and K3VR’s
“link” thereto seriously misfired [it led to the unequivocal apology, HI]….
So, over the Christmas Holy Days no less, Brian ‘The
Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR maniacally went to work and in effect restated the
SARC “news” on his CMSPIRG website, declaring that the unequivocal apology
notwithstanding, the “true story” published in England by Matthew Graves was
nevertheless “highly accurate”….
We know that it was a true “story”, Brian. But, more
importantly, was the story “true”?
More fundamentally: How would CMSPIRG/K3VR know that
it was “highly” as opposed to just ‘plain-vanilla’ accurate, while the
publisher, having done his due diligence [admittedly after the fact], came to
the exact opposite conclusion and offered a grovelling apology?
Answer: Obviously only if K3VR had submitted/written
the “news” article under the false name of “Matthew Graves”.
What additional evidence do we have that K3VR de
facto is Matthew Graves?
Why, an official e-mail, under threat of the
defamation suit, above, from the SARC Webmaster confirming that the article was
submitted from—wait for it—cmspirg@careto.org at the
http://host.picturewizard.com/ CMSPIRG website repeatedly referred to/used by Brian
‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR.
Brian appears to have been engaged in a form of
‘circle jerk’—with Matthew Graves—a.k.a. himself! That’s possibly why he has a
glass-top operating desk, HI. But, we again digress….
It has been said that people who
engage in fraudulent behaviour, do so throughout their lives and across
disparate areas of endeavour….
Read on, gentle reader, read on….
Alter egos are the ‘stock-in-trade’
for Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR. In fact, he was contemporaneously doing
something very similar with:
·
a Dr. Jonas X. Hasenfus [on the anonymous/unattributed CMSPIRG];
·
a James Doohan [on an anonymous/unattributed website called
Blankheads];
·
and more recently with a Trucker Fred [on The Truckers’ Forum]; a
Maciej from Thailand [on HamForum]; an Octavio Johansen, Col. J.B. Phipps and
Jean Gilbert Lacroix [all on Dr. Daniel Pipes’ Islamophobe Blog]; a Diversity
[on VibrantVictoria]; among many, many, many others….
K3VR was in the Spring of
2006 even challenged on QRZ by a rare thinking
reader/poster to disclose the 'directing mind' behind the CMSPIRG site, but
instructively refused to do so, then or since.... Since he continues to deny
knowing Matthew Graves, let us play a short logic game on him….
Given that Matthew Graves
apparently is such an “expert” on esoteric/obscure American amateur radio
topics, it follows logically that he might be an American radio amateur…. Now,
a search of the FCC database under the name Matthew Graves discloses only two
matches, both lowly Technicians, with then barely a lookup on the call sign
databases. One lives in Connecticut and the other in Pennsylvania (PA).
The most likely ‘candidate’
of the two, a KB3FQN[82], has an address
listed thus:
Matthew P. GRAVES
1710 Trolist Dr
North Huntington,
PA
15642
K3VR’s amateur radio licence
address in the databases for some reason is not his home address, but rather an
apparent ‘mail drop’ in a medical office [?] building East of Pittsburgh, PA,
thus:
Brian L. CROW
2550 Mosside
Boulevard Suite 212
Monroeville[83], PA
15146
Some have even suggested that
Brian may be hiding from someone and/or running from something and using a social
worker/psychologist’s office as a mail-drop, all the while frenetically trying
to ‘expose’ K1MAN and others, using anonymous and fraudulent means on his
CMSPIRG site and elsewhere…. But, we digress….
Irrespective, a house,
registered to K3VR’s in the Land Title records shows thus:
Brian L. CROW [and wife
Susannah—and another]
12201 Longview Dr
North Huntington,
PA
15642
Surprise, surprise, this home owned
at least in part by Brian Crow K3VR appears to have the same ZIP Code as that
of the Matthew Graves, above, who only lives some 1.5 miles South-East, ‘as the
Crow flies’ [pun intended]! Both appear to reside in this hamlet known as
Irwin, comprising ~5,000 souls, some 15 miles East of Pittsburgh PA….
Yet, in a recent comment on an eHam article authored
by Matthew Graves—but based entirely on a provocative and illogical letter
written by K3VR to K1MAN—Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR maintains, that he
“[n]ever heard of him”[84], referring to
Matthew Graves….
How do you spell disingenuous? You spell it thus: L I A R
To continue with the chronology, in early December
2005 the Canadian had a series of extended QSOs on 14.275 MHz with K1MAN that
resulted in some very lively and even controversial discussion—and more
malicious and as reported even by K3VR “wall-to-wall” QRM—all of which stuck
like a bone in the craw of Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR [pun, again,
intended]….
The ‘spirited’, cynical and occasionally
semi-humorous discussions included:
·
an extensive comparison of the limits of Free Speech in Canada and the
USA [with per force graphic
examples], which Canada won, hands down, HI [K3VR mis-characterized this
powerful lecture as obscene and “homo-erotic”—which arguably says much more
about Brian than the Canadian];
·
a wide-ranging canvass/oblique critique by the Canadian [who, despite
having qualified on various weapons while in the military, effectively is ‘anti-gun’
and particularly ‘anti-handgun’] of the American right to own, bear, but NOT to
use arms, HI [K3VR who reportedly owns what in Canada would pass for a ‘small
arsenal’ and supposedly worked on the Phalanx gun system, mis-characterized
this as “frightening”];
·
a clearly theoretical/humorous/cynical scenario illustrating the futility
of trying to repel a potential SWAT attack [led by Brian
on Riley’s behalf, HI] up the long peninsula/driveway to K1MAN’s “presidential
palace” [sic] in Belgrade Lakes, Maine [K3VR mis-quoted this out of
context and again mis-characterized it as “frightening”];
·
the theoretical American right to own, bear and deploy tactical nuclear weapons—as a
logical extension of the ‘arms’ guarantee found in the US Constitution, HI
[logical and frightening indeed—but the obverse in intent to that characterized
by K3VR];
·
the Canadian’s clearly humorous suggestion that the best way for the
American to send him a .50 cal. sniper’s rifle [as a
‘consolation prize’]—that he had immediately earlier promised only to use for
target practice down his long driveway [HI]—was to ship it in a musical
instrument case, declared as ‘goods of no commercial value’ [K3VR yet again
mis-quoted this out of context/characterized this as “frightening”];
·
the suggestion that K1MAN remind the Canadian the next time they meet
to tell him about the unprecedented intemperate pronouncements—during a
contentious election campaign—of the US Ambassador to Canada ‘pissing off’ both
the outgoing and the incoming Canadian Prime Ministers in general and
particularly what the Canadian was figuratively contemplating of gently
inserting up the Ambassador’s
rectum [“…asshole, for the Trailer Park Boys listening…”—K3VR mis-characterized
this as “physically attacking” the US Ambassador]; etc., etc.
All of these and more K3VR eventually posted, in
‘dribs and drabs’, in various false variants and under highly misleading
captions/titles—all grossly/purposely out of context of course—and most 180
degrees removed from their original sense/meaning—on his proliferating
anonymous/unattributed website(s)….
Way to go Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR….
Brian K3VR the PSYCHOPATH[85]?
Suffice it to say that the Canadian has recently
again repeatedly been threatened, by a variety of inventive methods and means,
including with late night harassing telephone calls, another ‘knock on the
door’ [this time in the middle of the night, HI] and has again had death
threats in the group [“you’re going to die”, “C-4” being left on his verandah,
grenades being lobbed through the window, etc.] uttered against him on-air,
sometimes in falsetto and/or altered voices [monitoring suggests this is
somewhat of a specialty with ND8V, K3VR, W4NTI & Co.]….
K3VR also recently fraudulently reported the
Canadian to the “authorities” [the US State Department] for supposedly—wait for
it—plotting together with K1MAN “to assassinate the American Ambassador to
Canada”[86]…. This
supposedly was on ~14.275 MHz which very arguably is the most heavily
monitored frequency in all of amateur radio, in the middle of the day, at
1.5 KW power levels, using powerful antennas in both directions, in passable
English, etc., etc…. Should you believe that, click here, without delay.
As evidence of this “plot” Brian ‘The Fraudulent
Crow’ K3VR offered, under Oath—wait for it—this audio clip!
If American Justice is not simply a tawdry whore,
who peeks under her skimpy blindfold and sells herself to the highest bidder,
Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR should get ‘room and board’ for a few years at
the ‘crowbar hotel’ for this latest outrage! Martha Stewart went to jail for
much less….
This year alone/since then, for partial catch-all
examples only, Brian and Co. has maniacally been obsessed by the
Canadian:
Homo-Eroticism
·
He published an extreme homo-erotic/NAZI page on MySpace [using a
mis-appropriated “proper name” in an e-mail account], written ‘as if’ by the
Canadian and having its own link on CMSPIRG….
·
He arranged to publish a Webpage of famous so-called “homosexual
Poles”, starting with Count Casimir Pulaski, the Father of American Cavalry! It
included Tadeusz Kosciuszko [name mis-spelled, Shame!], who was General
Washington’s Chief Military Engineer, founder/fortifier of West Point and the
architect of the pivotal victory at Saratoga! Surprise, surprise, in the
list he also included the Canadian [who was actually mentioned twice, once
using his occasional nom de guerre de radio of ‘Vlad the Impaler’, HI].
The Canadian wishes to be on Record that he is extremely proud to be mentioned
in such exalted company, unfounded/unfair/anonymous aspersions by a patent
little US ‘faggot’ still ‘in the closet’ notwithstanding….
·
He arranged for a comment on a Florida news article to be published [surprise,
surprise, about Tom Whatley N1FM and his exploits with Delray Beach
frauds—have a look at your ‘friends’, Tom], again with nefarious homosexual content
and even signed ‘as if’ by the Canadian….
·
He arranged for a comment on a UK news article about Daniel Craig and
the new 007 film “Casino Royale”, also with homosexual overtones[87] and again signed
‘as if’ by the Canadian….
·
He started a string titled “Where To Complain About Discrimination?” on
a Vancouver B.C. gay website[88] which read as
follows: “Where is the best place to make a complaint about discrimination and
homophobia, etc?” Then, making reference to his fraudulent ‘as if’ VE7KFM site,
he signed it “MAN”…. You’re close, Brian, but you’re no man…. FYI We understand
that the best place to make a complaint about homophobia and related is in a
bath-house, on your knees and preferably with your front teeth knocked out, as
repeatedly advised….
Stalking
·
He stalked/arranged to stalk the Canadian/his house on-air and the
Internet and posted pictures thereof on the Internet.
·
He and his agents harassed him by telephone, day and night, sometimes
using voice-changing algorithms [the record, so far, is 39 hang-up calls in 50
minutes].
·
He has given out on-air/Internet the address, telephone number of the
Canadian as well as the names and telephone numbers of his [deceased] Father,
Mother, siblings, nieces & nephews, family Priest [whom he asked his
‘misfits’ to call about the supposed ‘homosexual tendencies’ of the Canadian].
Interference
·
He perversely accused the Canadian of causing interference after Gordon
WB6NOA who had mounted a DXpedition to Christmas Island complained in the
Amateur Radio Newsline #1520 of intentional malicious interference on 14.275
MHz by (1) US based amateurs, (2) from ‘the lower 48’ (3) not yet brought to
heel by the FCC! Brian & Co. on ‘QeerZ’ immediately twisted this
unequivocal triple reference—incidentally, Gordon is a knowledgeable long-time
involved amateur, who won “Amateur of the Year” Award for 2006 and who runs a
‘radio school’—stating that Gordon was mistaken and that despite his
categorical report, 99% of the interference was nevertheless due to the
Canadian…. To the extent that not one ‘cluster-fuck’ on ‘QeerZ’ picked up on
this 180 degree volte face, it is obvious that reading, ‘riting and especially
reasoning appear to be in very short supply in America these days!
·
He accused the Canadian within days of the above, also on ‘QeerZ’ of
interfering with a “Medical Radio Emergency” supposedly declared by Gordon
WB6NOA that surprise, surprise was neither medical nor an emergency!
Rather, it was a figment of Rambo Dan W4NTI’s Paranoid imagination, aided and
abetted before and after the fact by Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR. This, because
Gordon had previously clearly, in writing, stated the nature of the medical ‘mission’
and moreover, because both Brian K3VR and Rambo Dan W4NTI had been advised
publicly, again in writing, on ‘QeerZ’ by Bill WA6ITF Gordon’s ~agent, that
there absolutely was no emergency[89]…. American Fucktards….
Terrorism
·
He has repeatedly accused the Canadian of being a “terrorist” in
various ways and forms [you’d think that the Canadian taught USAma all he knew,
HI].
·
He has accused the Canadian of distributing “Hate Propaganda” [The Life of Riley]—and even posted a direct link
on ‘QeerZ’ to the RCMP Hate Crimes Unit—in Lotus Land, or was that Disneyland,
or ‘Queer’ Land, or…. But, we ‘doo digress’! Brian, the RCMP is not nearly as
incompetent as you assume and your Condoleezza’s State Department daily
demonstrates. But, Brian’s misguided initiative had a beneficial development:
the Commissioner of the RCMP took his eyes off the ball, screwed up Royally and
was forced to resign in disgrace shortly thereafter. Good riddance! His three
subordinate ‘monkeys’ should be next…. Bring back the Airborne Regiment—disband
the RCMP.
Among others, K3VR has recently apparently also
contacted the following—some multiply—all to no avail. Actually, most are
quietly laughing at him, HI:
·
Matt Drudge, Bill O’Reilley, FCC, Army National Guard, US
Army, US Marines [where is the USN and USAF Brian], AFL-CIO, International
Teamsters [BCc Jimmy Hoffa, HI] and to ‘American investors and business owners
on the island of Vancouver’. Brian also appears to have missed the BC
Association of US Draft-Dodgers—and Al Qaida Northern Command, HI….
·
Radio Canada International about the Canadian’s use of “Radio Canada”
[close, Brian, but “no cigar”]. Le Directeur-General est vraiment tres amuse….
·
The Toronto Star. Brian quoted Jim Travers, a columnist, supposedly
saying that the Canadian’s diction presumably was “appalling” and “not very
neighbourly”, but without context and in a “private” conversation. As an
anonymous ‘hack journalist’, what part of ‘no context—no pack drill’ and
“private” don’t you understand, Brian?
·
Two local TV stations [nothing heard/seen, over].
·
Two local newspapers [ditto].
·
Peter Warren, an abrasive/opinionated local radio talk-show host [there
is no other kind these days] and ‘investigative journalist’, who nevertheless
clearly saw through Brian’s hyperbole when he laconically wrote him back: “The suggestion that "many Americans are
discussing boycotting Canadian goods, etc." is ludicrous in the extreme.“
Imagine, characterized as “ludicrous in the extreme”, despite Brian’s one-hand
clapping! After receiving/perusing The Life of Riley
Peter was much more expressive about Brian in a “private” tele-conversation
with the Canadian, HI….
·
Mayor, Council and Chief of Police. The Chief—who unlike the Canadian,
tried but failed to get accepted to Canada’s elite RMC—is investigating—Brian….
·
A local Member of Parliament of diminutive stature and over-sized ego—well
known as a rabid opponent of radio towers—and consequently amateurs [where is
your Solidarnosc, Brian].
·
The Premier of B.C. [he’s pre-occupied with a criminal scandal within
his Party, Brian]
·
The Minister of Industry [mon cher ami, Maxime] at least four
times! The Minister sends his regards, Brian: Mange la Merde!
·
The Minister of Justice—reporting the Canadian for “Hate Crimes”. At
the time he was in charge of the Canadian variant of the “whore”, mentioned
above, but due apparently to Brian’s ‘bureaucratic noise’, recently lost the
Portfolio in a Cabinet shuffle….
·
The Prime Minister of Canada. Is nothing sacred? No need to answer,
Brian, we know….
Lately, Brian appears to be ‘floundering’ all over
the place…. Poor misfit Brian…. For late and partial examples only, he has also
approached:
·
The British Columbia Consumer Protection Agency (BCCPA). Brian
‘crowed’ [HI] that at his instigation the BCCPA had investigated the Canadian
whose long-time business entity, REALTY RESEARCH GROUP [note the name—imitation
(Center for Media Studies Public Interest Research Group) is the sincerest form
of flattery, HI] is listed as a resource therefor, on a pro bono basis
no less [that’s pro bono, not ‘pro boner’, Brian] and supposedly
decided to “black ball” him. Unlike in your ‘bath house’, Brian, black-balling
is an illegal activity in Canada generally [‘policed’, incidentally, by IC et
mon cher ami, Maxime]…. It is especially inappropriate for a
quasi-governmental Authority supposedly protecting the Public Interest…. The
Vice-President BCCPA is currently conducting an internal investigation into
this obviously flawed so-called ‘investigation’ and unfortunate attempt at
“black balling” [by some incompetent ‘Slutty Suzie’ with or without apron]
as fraudulently instigated by Brian. In a recent “private” [HI] tele-conversation
the Vice-President ~apologized to the Canadian. It would appear that she now rues
the day she received the first of three increasingly strident/vitriolic e-mails
from Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR who, she agreed, exhibits the traits of a
Sociopath….
·
The Canadian Radio-Television Commission (CRTC), whose mandate, surprise,
surprise, is the regulation of Canadian ‘radio-television’, not amateur
radio! Stay a ‘lert’ when reading the Queen’s Legislative English Titles at the
very least, Brian…. But this initiative was also not entirely without “benefit”
for Brian, who wrote: “A staff member [‘Sleazy Sally‘ most likely—with
or without the apron—or knickers, HI] at the Canadian Radio-Television
Commission has identified [the Canadian’s] activities as Hate Propaganda in
violation of Canada's Criminal Code.” Brian, you should instead/more profitably
have asked her how to perform lobotomies—with the proverbial dull soup spoon—or
other services with which she likely is more conversant!
·
Four ‘highly qualified’ truck drivers [all recent emigrants from
Poland]. One, a Robert Flor VE7ZZK the Canadian ~two years earlier defended
from ND8V’s attacks one day—and heard the coward making a “separate peace” with
the misfit the next! How do you spell Quisling or was that Benedict Arnold
[thankfully both a rarity in modern Polish history]? Two of these very marginal
English speakers and much worse writers subsequently nevertheless realized that
they had “been had” by Brian’s slights-of-hand on CMSPIRG and wrote asking that
he correct the record…. Surprise, surprise, they’re still waiting to
have their ‘pidgin prose’ appear in Brian’s print [hey, it alliterates, HI]!
·
The Manager, Spectrum Operations, Vancouver Island District, IC.
Brian has lately approached this Manager/office numerous times by e-mail and
most recently by telephone. The Manager—no friend of the Canadian—apparently
this time finally told Brian the brutal truth. He accurately called Brian &
Co.’s complaints a fraudulent “put up job”! He reportedly pointed out that
after more than a year of close and random monitoring from less than 3 miles
away—at the repeated written and verbal requests of the Canadian—he was
satisfied that his on-air activities were always lawful, even if his speech was
occasionally strident and/or ‘colourful’, HI. In closing, he also apparently
stated that as a consequence he planned to do absolutely nothing further on the
file! This sent Brian into a tailspin and he began to shout and threaten the
Manager! Citing Canadian law—that on all the evidence he patently barely knows
how to read, never mind understand—Brian perversely called the entire situation
“Institutional Racism”! How do you spell American Hubris? Whereupon the Manager
promptly hung up on Brian! Bravo, Jimbo!
·
The British so-called “Islamic Human Rights Commission” (IHRC)
nominating the Canadian for the 2006 “Islamophobia Award”. The Canadian
has the dubious “honour” of being on a short list of nine [9], which includes
the likes of Dr. Daniel Pipes, a Dr. Condoleezza Rice [yes, ‘Condi’ has a
Ph.D.] and a reported ‘flunky’ from Yale called Geo. W. Bush, who won the Award
in 2005. The Canadian is highly unlikely to win, however, because all his
faults notwithstanding, he patently is not an “Islamophobe”. Moreover, he is
unlikely to win, mainly because the nomination abstract was badly botched by
Brian: it was mis-spelled and is internally and externally inconsistent, for a
start…. But, what can one expect from an American Psycho? Computerized
spelling and grammar checkers only get him so far, if he uses them…. And even these
won’t catch such ‘gems’, for example, as “human people”, that Brian used in a
disjointed letter to Dr. Pipes’ Blog attempting to ‘gild his lily’…. Or in the
transparent comments by Brian’s curious alter egos Octavio Johansen,
Col. J.B. Phipps, Jean Gilbert Lacroix, etc.
Avec Brian, plus ca change, plus ca reste la meme!
·
e-Veritas, the RMC ex-cadet publication. Brian got past a
septuagenarian [that’s someone in their seventies, for you American fucktards] administrator
thereon by subterfuge—pretending to be the nephew of a Lieutenant-General.
Unfortunately, the septuagenarian can not recall if this was Brian’s Col. J.B.
Phipps [above] after meteoric promotion or not…. Be that as it may, this again
‘blew up’ in Brian’s face within 24 hours, when several of the Canadian’s
former keen-eyed junior comrades-in-arms [whom he obviously trained well] saw this.
They immediately ‘leaned on’ their illustrious alma mater not only to
remove Brian’s defamatory, fraudulent, unattributed and anonymous link tout
suite, but also insisted that a proper apology[90] be tendered—as
well as a link to the Canadian’s true Website. The jig’s up, Brian. Sic
transit Gloria….
Suffice it to say that as of the time of updating of
this piece—and 5+ years into the mission—despite numerous truthful and cogent
independent complaints, some lately from literally half-way around the world[91], Riley has still
done nothing substantive to ND8V who together with his toadies and
second-stringers—now disingenuously managed by Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’[92] K3VR—continue to
terrorize 14.275 MHz and vicinity with manifest impunity[93]….
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
How come ‘Kalamazoo Cuckoo’ ND8V is still licensed[94] and leads such a
“Life of Riley”, many thinking amateurs ask???
There are some cynics who answer
generally that the ties that bind—and blind—to this extent are to be found only
within ‘secret societies’—such as the Masons, the KKK and groups which meet for
trysts in ‘bath houses’…. But, being cynics, they probably over-state if not
over-generalize.
Others, who are less jaded, muse
simply that Riley is ineffective because he is fundamentally incompetent. Some
suggest that Riley’s secretary is weak in basic fact investigation/reasoning
ability and has too ready an access to his rubber-stamp signature. Those who are legally trained laconically
submit that Riley is simply ‘wet’ on the law. Still others suggest that Riley is legally, administratively and
otherwise unethical. A few point out the obvious—that Riley is also from the 4th
Call District—and as such is simply covering the ‘butts’ of his fellow southern
rednecks [and/or Klan wannabes]. Some have even suggested that Riley is
intellectually and otherwise dishonest. While K1MAN bluntly states on-air and
in writing that Riley is a “cheap and corrupt politician”.
Some of these characterizations
might be true, in whole or at least in part. But, after ~five years of close
monitoring and observation, the “relationship” between Riley and ND8V appears
to be both much simpler and at the same time much more complex than that....
In a nutshell, ‘Kalamazoo Cuckoo’
ND8V arguably leads “The Life of Riley” because Riley continues to treat this
‘useful ~400+ lb. idiot’ and his uncouth toadies on 14.275 MHz and vicinity as
the radio equivalent of thugs and ‘brown-shirts’ in his battle to get K1MAN and
his Bulletins off the air. Riley was/is playing the dangerous game of ‘the
enemy of my enemy is my friend’ and provides this crude racist bully ‘deep
cover’, convenient ‘escape clauses’, lenient sentences and ‘get out of jail
free’ cards virtually on request[95]….
But, why has this gone on for so
long? Arguably, because ‘Kalamazoo Cuckoo’ ND8V also knows ‘where Riley’s
bodies are buried’ and possibly more[96]…. Possibly more, because it now appears as if
Riley has actually sub-contracted enforcement on HF to this band of thugs led
by ND8V and lately managed by Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR….
Whatever the short and/or long-term
tactical merits of Riley’s ad hoc, unprincipled and ultimately
Machiavellian approach, because of the collateral damage it causes to
non-combatants and innocent others, it constitutes highly irresponsible and
unethical administrative behaviour and brings great discredit not only to amateur
radio and the FCC, but also to the United States of America as a whole.
It is past time, therefore, not
only for Mad Mikee ‘Kalamazoo Cuckoo’ ND8V and Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR
but also for Riley ‘Rot’ Hollingsworth(less)[97] K4ZDH to go....

In February 2006 ND8V changed his call-sign—but
not his MO—to KZ8O [said quickly, it sounds suspiciously like ‘Crazy-8-Oh’]….

Would the REAL
Brian ‘The Fraudulent CROW’ K3VR Stand Up?
In brief, what else do we know ~’for sure’ about Brian L. Crow K3VR?
Brian was born near Boston, MA [and has called himself a “New England Prick”], is ~46 years old, married [but may be separated from his wife, Suzannah and ‘living in sin’ with a ~25 year old ‘housekeeper’, but this may be dis-information], has two children [boys aged 2 & 5] and for some reason appears to be hiding on the South-Eastern outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA [he uses Irwin, North Huntington, Monroeville and Washington interchangeably/contemporaneously]….
In a Monroeville, PA Tribune Review note, Brian Crow was in 2005 identified as a ‘local addiction counsellor’ [‘physician’ heal thyself, obviously loosely said, immediately comes to mind] and “Coalition for Human Dignity” [is there any other kind?] program manager, scheduled to ‘discuss the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse’ [tell us something we don’t know, Brian]. This appears to have been at the end of the ‘ballyhooed’ and reportedly now quietly lost “War On Drugs” era….
In a recent submission to the FCC, “Brian L. Crow (K3VR)” styled himself as “an educational consultant and an amateur radio operator” without much more[98]. This too may have been a leftover from the days when he attempted to exploit the then still semi-credible “No Child Left Behind” ‘buzz phrase’—and [again] especially the associated governmental funding, HI….
There may nevertheless be some ~truth in both of the above, because Brian has within the last year been monitored on-air as saying that ‘he gives counselling to emotionally troubled teens, individuals and families’ and even that he is a “psychiatrist”! This, apparently, without the impedimenta of an advanced [if any] degree and in an admittedly very ‘loosey goosy’ field in any event. He also said that he does not like belonging to any “professional” organization—because they reportedly tend to ‘cramp his style’…. We are not at all surprised, HI!
A
perfunctory search on the Internet also shows a skeletal form of Brian Crow’s Curriculum
Vitae [(b. 1960 d. ‘hopefully
soon’, HI)—last updated less than three years ago], listing him as a
“consultant” with areas of supposed expertise in: “Small Business Management
Consultation; Prevention Education; Grant Project Management; Personal, Family,
and Business Guidance”. The highest/only degree listed is a Master’s, but
without any of the usual additional data [field, granting institution, year,
etc.]. The “Publications” column also has absolutely no entries checked off
whatsoever—not even a Thesis…. To the best of our knowledge, a Thesis is a sine
qua non for every Master’s Degree—but apparently not for Brian’s, HI….
Brian
is shown as supposedly working for/at an entity called “Stockbridge Consulting”, described on a related page as: “A boutique consulting firm
located in Western Pennsylvania that specializes in confidential guidance and
development of goals and measurement criteria for grant projects, small businesses,
families, individuals and educational institutions.” It would appear that
Brian, a self-admitted right-wing ‘whacko’, facilitates individuals and
entities to ‘suck off the welfare teat’, but we digress. This “boutique” apparently operates without a published logo,
letterhead, address, telephone number, etc…. More importantly, if anyone can definitively
de-cipher the gobbledygook in which Stockbridge Consulting supposedly ‘trades’,
‘you’re a better man [or woman, HI] than I, Ganga Din’!
Stockbridge
Consulting shows a total of one [1] ‘members’, with zero [0] publications and
zero [0] citations to its credit. Thereon, Brian Crow is sonorously listed [in
the British style] as a “Managing Director”—prima facie of himself, HI.
How do you spell ‘circle jerk’? As an aside, Matthew Graves and Herr
Professor Dr. Jonas [or was that Janus] X. Hasenfus, among others of Brian’s
recent associates at the infamous CMSPIRG site must then have been on
sabbatical, HI….
More recently, in an early variant of his ‘Bio’ on his just-launched first attributed [!] ‘Blog’ [curiously exclusively about the Canadian no less], Brian states that ‘after working on projects for’ the Department of Defense (DoD)—later subtly changed to “After working for the Department of Defense”—after on-air critique by the Canadian again changed to the original formulary—then removed altogether—he became the CEO (Chief Operating Officer, presumably) of “an organization catering to the information technology needs of business and government entities around the globe.” A curious bit of a “moveable feast” this ‘Bio’….
First, congratulations to Brian for ‘coming out’ of the anonymous closet…. One down and at least one more ‘closet’ to go…. Second, the Blog clearly says much more about Brian [and CMSPIRG whereon it’s wildly promoted] than the Canadian. Third, being CEO of an organization of one [1] probably does not merit the title of CEO—or “organization” for that matter, HI…. Be that as it may, this appears to be Brian’s latest attempt in the ‘sucking off the governmental teat’ series to hitch his wagon to an admittedly promising and potentially very lucrative ‘rising star’: the “Global War on Terror”—worlds without end, without end, without….
But before going further, some admittedly pedantic observations on the penultimate paragraph, above, from your ever-so-humble immigrant non-native-English-speaking ‘quill pusher’: Was Brian working ‘on sundry projects for the DoD’ [as a sweeper of spent Phalanx shell casings at Westinghouse, perhaps?]; or, was he working ‘for the DoD’ directly? There is a big difference, the ‘cute variation in diction’ notwithstanding…. We taught we taw a … chameleon, HI. Also, “entities” is superfluous [but if you insist, Brian, it should then be ‘governmental’, not ‘government’] and “around the globe” is not only verbose, but also overly grandiose even for his usual hyperbole [unless Brian is an inter-galactic ‘space cadet’—which is a possibility and even a probability—the James Doohan post and other indicia refer, HI].
Incidentally, did anyone detect an overall pattern in Brian’s MO here:
This ‘Sex, Drugs, Audio/Video tapes and War’, never mind ‘managing oneself’ [under the glass-topped desk or otherwise] while stalking others, is patently demanding and scary stuff! Certainly in the ‘Excited States of America’ these days—and fits Brian’s PsyOps MO and ‘twisted’ 180 degree phase-shifted personality, well … like Michael Jackson’s glove….
Then, there was the curiously fleeting recent version of Brian’s Blog which disparued without so much as a trace within days of being written…. Written, it must be pointed out, in manic fashion, ab initio and exclusively in reply to a non-annotated variant of The Life of Riley that appeared for about a week on HamForum.com in September 2006. In it Brian performed a de facto lengthy [3244 word apparently] and wholly unethical “psychiatric assessment” without benefit of meeting ‘the Canadian patient’ [HI], or otherwise having examined him as normally required even in that ‘voodoo science’….
Brian began his
analysis by writing: “I can make an informed opinion about
disordered minds because I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a Master's
degree in Consulting Psychology from a leading New England University.” He
arguably could/should have stopped just before trotting out his supposed
degrees, adding only the word “one” to the formulary, thus: “I can make an
informed opinion about disordered minds because I have one.” But we ‘doo
digress’….
The gravamen of Brian’s so-called assessment was that the Canadian is a raving but repressed homo-sexual…. Even assuming that Brian’s educational qualifications are not fraudulent [otherwise they arguably would not have disparued], they are of course nowhere near enough education/expertise for such a diagnosis/assessment. What would the Pennsylvania Psychological never mind Psychiatric professional associations have to say on the matter of Brian calling himself a “psychiatrist” on-air[99] generally and about Brian L. Crow practicing without adequate educational qualifications, experience or licence on the Internet in particular, were they to find out about this?
An official of The Pennsylvania Psychological Association recently wrote: “Brian L. Crow is not a member of our association (never has been), nor does the licensing site show him licensed in Pennsylvania.” However, a Prosecuting Attorney of The Pennsylvania Department of State wrote that they have an open file on Brian L. Crow and that in addition “reference to it has been entered into an informational database so that it can be used to determine if there is a pattern of problems with [this] individual….”
More confusing yet, in the very next edition
of the Blog instructively ‘shaped’ for yet another audience not a week later,
Brian accused the Canadian of being a ‘homo-phobe’ and would have him in jail
for “Hate Crimes” [as ‘expertly’ directed by ‘Sleazy Sally’] related to
this…. The logical question then arises: Which is it, Brian, ‘flaming fag’ or
‘faggot-hater’? In all the circumstances probably not both and if you have any
shame [which on the evidence we doubt], certainly not within days! Also, this
manic fixation on the ‘alternate lifestyle’ [not to mention K1MAN’s “Boy
Scouts”, HI] again speaks volumes about Brian…. Psychologists/psychiatrists
call it ‘projection’…. Finally, what are we to make of the Canadian’s
well/widely known—even as reported/recorded by Brian—predilection for ‘humongous’
female mammaries [“tits” in American-speak]? But again, we ‘doo digress’….
All of this per force reminds us of ‘Miami Boob’ W4ASX who not only likes to practice law without benefit of courses, degree or licence, but like Brian, also sometimes feels compelled to perform Psychiatric assessments on-air and on the Internet…. Brian has called him an ‘award-winning writer’ and quotes him with approbation on CMSPIRG where ‘Boob’, categorically states that Glenn Baxter—a Professional Engineer—is: “a mentally disordered individual, growing worse." Maybe ‘Bi-Polar Boob’ taught Brian all he knows? Let us preliminarily count the ways: Writing, Logic, Law and Psychiatry…. Renaissance men, the both of them…. And Jesus wept!
Glenn K1MAN[100] has within the last year also stated in writing that Brian ‘represented himself to him as a former National Security Agency (NSA) operative who has grants from the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) as well as the State of Pennsylvania’, “presumably to look into possible terrorist connections between [K1MAN] and other factions world wide.” Glenn may understandably be somewhat paranoid on the latter point—but we must remember: even paranoids have enemies, HI.
Speaking of ‘spooks’, there is some evidence—in Brian’s tortured mind and elsewhere—to support this contention and similar connections with ‘alphabet soup’ agencies….
In his first ever
overt Bio/Blog, Brian writes: “During my career I've had numerous
contacts with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, CIA, BATF, DoJ, and other
agencies with 3 letter designations.”
The above may be bragadoccio—or Brian’s way of protecting his supposed “Puzzle Palace” employer, the NSA—or not, HI. If Brian ever worked for the NSA [which we very much doubt] in any capacity other than say as a janitor, he would be sworn to official secrecy under pain of ‘room and board’—at Leavenworth, KA. More to the point, referring these days with approbation to the likes of the CIA, FBI and NSA—pre-9/11 through post-‘Weapons of Mass Distraction’ in Iraq—and beyond in both directions almost as far as a modern historian’s eye can see—is not only supremely counter productive/detrimental to one’s case, but actually is also highly comical….
But, did Brian & Co. have “contacts with” [again, not to be confused with ‘working for’] the likes of the FBI, CIA, NSA—and the USSS? Probably—and with a little luck and ‘management’ he will likely have again, soon, HI. This, because on the evidence, Brian has a professional but fraudulent ‘snitch’[101] mentality and is a home-grown American radio/cyber-terrorist who, for example, recently falsely mis-directed hundreds of man-hours and tens of thousands of $ in scarce investigative resources—on both sides of the border—to no practical effect, as alluded to in part elsewhere….
Glenn also wrote that Brian routinely sends “harassing e-mails and appears to create anonymous “anti” K1MAN Websites on a regular and continuing basis”.
Again, this has a
ring of truth to it. With Glenn’s recent ‘lower profile’, Brian has now set his
sights on his supposed supporters in the series, chief among them the Canadian
and using the same means. This is an artefact of Brian’s Machiavellian ‘ends
justify the means’ approach…. The fundamental danger with this approach is that
once one end is achieved [in this case the ~neutralization of Glenn/K1MAN], the
means [‘force & fraud’, the ‘brown shirts’, fraudulent/anonymous Internet
sites/posts, mis-appropriation of identity, fraudulent e-mails, etc.] are still
‘to hand’, ready to be used on the next serial ‘end’/victim [the Canadian, Rich
ex-WB2OTK, Todd N9OBL, Donnie W4JYZ …you?].
Glenn also maintains that Brian ‘has essentially been "stalking" him since 1992 supposedly driven by petty jealousies and/or for his own amusement’.
The reasons offered by Glenn may, again understandably, be ego-centric. But this stalking, simpliciter, has more than a ring of truth to it…. Recently, Brian has repeatedly and demonstrably been stalking the Canadian [and even his extended family], with whom he now appears to be obsessed in turn…. Glenn, if you should be reading this, report the stalking to the police, immediately, if you haven’t done so already! Almost by definition, stalkers are psychopaths, with all that entails….
If anyone else has ever been stalked by Brian L. Crow K3VR—contact your local police—and the writer, without delay….
Unlike most American radio-amateurs and even 3-letter alphabet soup and similar ‘august’ agencies caught up in the current frienzy associated with the so-called “War on Terror”, it would appear that Glenn fundamentally has had ‘the measure’ of Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR for some time now, when he wrote: “Brian "fakes it" and fools many (fools)…”.
Speaking to Brian’s supposed Master’s degree [apparently in “Education” that time], Glenn wrote: “His indifferent teachers (if his diploma is not a fake) did him a disservice. But, like the guy in the movie "Catch Me If You Can", diplomas and much else can be faked. Brian claims to have worked for [the] NSA, and they create phony [sic] people all the time.”
On http://no2k1man a Ben Kingsley [sic] on 12 November 2005 stated: “K3VR posted his grades and a copy of his grad degree. Pretty impressive - all A's.“ Obviously, Brian’s educational institution is too ‘prestigious’ by at least one “A”, HI. Be that as it may, other than Ben’s highly suspect imprimatur, there is not a trace of these superlative if exceedingly elusive ‘honours’…. Why is that Brian?
“Let's look at
Brian Crow specifically”, says Glenn. “He publishes all his stuff anonymously.
He creates a "political cartoon" about K1MAN on a free anonymous web
site and then says "Hey, I just 'saw' this, take a look
at it yourself." He makes up phony [sic] experts like "Dr.
Hasenfus" (an alleged attorney) who then states a legal
"opinion" obviously not the work of a real attorney. Brian could
easily find a real attorney; he does not need a phony [sic] one UNLESS
he is trying to fool a few fools.”
“He dropped his own web site years ago (it showed more than a passing interest in little boys) and now he creates many free anonymous pages…. He seems to create dozens of anonymous E-Mail addresses as well and sends me stuff all the time….”
Actually, it’s much worse, in that Brian also creates e-mail addresses/sends fraudulent e-mail messages ‘as if’ from genuine but often inactive/elderly/ill radio amateurs…. Brian: neither “Pan Professor Bialy”, nor “Mr. Bialy”, the octogenarian in frail health whose call sign you recently fraudulently abused, nor myway.com/ask.com are very amused by your latest antics…. More fundamentally, Brian, why do you appear to have such an inferiority complex when it comes to titles and especially degrees that you have to surround yourself with fictitious Ph.D.’s [Herr Professor Dr. Hasenfus, etc.]? Aren’t references to supposed sheepskins from “leading New England Universit[ies]” that so briefly ‘flashed’ across our computer screens recently enough? No? OK, we think we understand, it must be ~like sex: never enough, especially apparently for those of the ‘alternate persuasion’…. But surely, your qualifications are more than enough for the mental and other defectives you ‘manage’ on-air/the Internet, most of whom don’t even know how to spell Ph.D. But, we ‘dooo digress’….
Glenn goes on to pointedly ask….
“Has anyone ever seen Brian personally? Has anyone ever snapped a picture of Brian? Has he ever attended a hamfest? Does he have a phone number? K3VR@Hotmail.com is not exactly traceable, now is it? Has anybody stopped at his FCC listed address to see what is there?”
“[Brian] even authored a printed nasty letter about K1MAN to the editor in local Maine newspapers by pretending to be from Manchester, Maine”, Glenn writes.
“He has filed complaints
about K1MAN to the Maine and Illinois professional engineering boards, the
Maine Attorney General, Maine State Senators and Representatives, the FCC,
Vermont Academy, the SEC, the FTC, etc., etc. ad infinitum. He has a
copy of my University of Rhode Island engineering school transcript. How did he
come by that?”
Very good questions/’pointed’
comments, Glenn….
Glenn muses: “Identity
theft is also quite common these days. Perhaps he is in the witness protection program
or his name was taken off of a tombstone and he is not Brian Crow at all. Would
the REAL Brian Crow, K3VR, please stand up?”
But, now that Glenn has supposedly been ‘neutralized’, what/who could/will be next, in an era when we have ‘everything to fear—including fear itself’?
Wait, for it ... we know: “Carlos”, the so-called “Canadian Radio Terrorist”, a.k.a. “The Army of One”, single-handedly “attacking/surrounding entire handfuls of American Radio Misfits” on ~14.275 MHz at any given time of the day or night—[non-existent] propagation notwithstanding….
Glenn reports that: “The FBI says that such extensive activity is usually paid for by some organization with lots of money and an axe to grind.”
So does the RCMP….
Be that as it may, the problem is obviously compounded when in addition you’re dealing with an accomplished cyberpath, arguably a ‘slick’ sociopath and possibly even an outright psychopath who, by definition, can fool most people much of the time….

[2] In the interim and arguably in order to defuse/diffuse the incipiently dangerous situation, the ARRL published/eHam reprinted a paean to Riley titled “Amateur Radio Enforcement ‘The Riley Way’ Marks Five Years”. Shortly thereafter, based on this paean W4ASX [another of ND8V’s close disordered toadies, see infra] published on eHam a short, inarticulate ‘suck up’ to Riley under the purposely-misleading title of “The Times of Riley”. Purposely-misleading, because the Canadian was then actively but only generally encouraging his on-air correspondents/listeners to look up The Life of Riley on eHam whenever he was maliciously QRM’ed.
[3] The author is neither a fan nor an enemy of K1MAN. K1MAN appears to be suffering from a Napoleonic complex, is highly ego-centric and generally a bit of an ‘odd bird’. He demonstrably has only a tenuous grasp on decency, can’t work in a team, even if it had the potential to save his life and exhibits no sense of loyalty whatsoever. Otherwise, he is ~a typical American radio amateur. K1MAN’s thesis/charge in a nutshell appears to be that Riley/the FCC/ARRL are ‘selling out’ fundamental amateur radio interests/spectrum to powerful commercial entities for dubious/improper personal and/or organizational gains.
[4] This may have been a play-on-words/short hand for Kalamazoo. Others, including some of the participants, have instructively called it an Asylum, with 14.275 being its latest ‘Annex’. See, inter alia, http://myrockport.com/world.htm [the former “jcunham” (sic) site, a.k.a. UnHam Central] for thumb-nail sketches, CB ‘handles’, MO, etc., of many of these misfits, past and present, at the centre of these decades-long ‘Radio Wars’. The site is often ~covertly used to co-ordinate attacks/’defend’ “their” frequencies—but after only six+ years of this, Riley is still ‘sooo confused’….
[5] Bill A6AYJ [now W6WBJ] an attorney from California, reported within the semi-humorous eHam article/‘string’ titled “All Hams Need a Secret Jamming Location” that Riley was demoted to his present post at the FCC because he had ‘screwed up’ his last job auctioning off frequencies—and that Riley and the ARRL just put a good face on the situation by making it appear that he really wanted the job/position….
[6] See inter alia the www.WorldRadio article “Riley Hollingsworth at the ARRL SW Division Convention“ for early evidence of this and his other self-serving and dangerous [i.e. ‘jamming a so-called jammer is not jamming’, etc.] pronouncements.
[7] This ‘moniker’ reportedly goes back to his CB days, when for >than a decade he was ‘Channel Master’ of CH 41 running an SB-220 at ~1.5 KW—with a microphone cord long enough to reach his bed, fridge and toilet [but in light of his 400+ lbs likely not in that order, HI].

[10] The ARRL reported that on 17 Oct ‘00 Riley wrote ND8V as follows:
The FCC on October 17, 2000, sent a Warning Notice to Extra licensee Michael E. Guernsey Sr, ND8V, and threatened the licensee with revocation and suspension proceedings.
The Notice cited "monitoring information and complaints before the Commission" alleging that the licensee had caused deliberate interference on 20 meters "particularly communications of Hispanic operators and truckers when you perceived them to have an improperly 'wide' SSB signal or a signal which in your opinion exhibited excessive microphone gain," FCC Special Counsel for Amateur Radio Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth wrote.
Hollingsworth said the problem "has apparently been occurring sporadically" for about 18 months.
The FCC said it's heard allegations that the licensee may have used profanity and obscenity on the air and that he may not have identified by call sign. "Information further indicates that on April 20, 2000, you deliberately interfered with communications in progress between the Maritime Mobile Service Net and a maritime station on 14.319 MHz."
He said the FCC had notified Guernsey last April 19 about the allegations and requested that he contact the FCC. Hollingsworth indicated that On October 2 and 13, Hollingsworth said, the licensee "apparently transmitted on 14.310 and 14.313 MHz with a signal not identified by call sign and deliberately interfered with ongoing communications, using profanity and obscenity."
Hollingsworth outlined the FCC's policy and proscriptions regarding profane, obscene and indecent speech. He said the operation described "is contrary to the basis and purpose" of the Amateur Service, and if it recurs, the FCC intended to designate Guernsey's station license for revocation and his operator license for suspension for the remainder of its term.

[11] Do an FOIA request at http://www.fcc.gov/foia/#reqform on ND8V/kz8o [the file should be well in excess of 1” thick by now] and then contact the author to compare notes/keep Riley/the FCC honest.
[13] The ARRL reported that on 14 Nov ‘00 Riley wrote ND8V as follows:
The FCC on November 14, 2000, wrote Amateur Extra licensee Michael E. Guernsey, ND8V, following up in its investigation into allegations of deliberate interference attributed to the licensee.
According to the letter, the licensee has agreed to a nine-month suspension of his HF (ie, below 30 MHz) privileges, from January 1 until September 2, 2001.
"If there are no violations of Amateur rules from the date of this letter through the modification period, and if there are no violations of the modification agreement, we will not consider complaints of violations or evidence of violations existing as of the date of this letter in any future enforcement action against your license," wrote FCC Special Counsel for Amateur Radio Enforcement Riley Hollingsworth.
On October 17, the FCC had sent a Warning Notice to Guernsey and threatened the licensee with revocation and suspension proceedings.
The earlier Notice cited "monitoring information and complaints before the Commission" alleging that the licensee had caused deliberate interference on 20 meters "particularly communications of Hispanic operators and truckers when you perceived them to have an improperly 'wide' SSB signal or a signal which in your opinion exhibited excessive microphone gain," Hollingsworth said.
The FCC also had cited allegations that the licensee may have used profanity and obscenity on the air, that he may not have identified by call sign, and that he might have deliberately interfered with communications on the Maritime Mobile Service Net.
Hollingsworth said any violations of the license modification agreement would lead to revocation and suspension proceedings.

[14] Riley likes to play “let’s make a deal”. This is one of his ineffective SOPs because in time, the miscreants invariably drift back to their old haunts/habits/frequencies. But, that way Riley will never theoretically be out of a job, HI.
[15] With one or two exceptions, ND8V and toadies are too close, geographically/propagationally [and arguably congenitally, HI] speaking, to efficiently/effectively use 20m. So, instead of changing to a more appropriate band, they routinely ‘bump it up’ with power, usually at ‘obscene’ levels [they are ~‘deaf’ to signal strengths below s9—monitor them for evidence of this] and despite ~reasonable antennas, would never be caught operating at low/standard power, or heaven forbid, QRP….
ND8V is an Extra class licensee, but many amateurs wonder exactly how he obtained his licence(s) and if he currently would be objectively able to pass the requirements even for a General class licence…. Others are on record as saying that unlike some amateurs recently required by Riley to undergo or illegally/unethically/improperly threatened with a retest, he should put ND8V through the paces….
[16] Riley can’t count and worse…. Worse, in part because ND8V’s return to HF a month early likely was no accident—it was arguably facilitated/designed to forestall K1MAN’s return to 14.275 MHz.
[17] The ARRL reported that on 1 Oct ’01 Riley wrote ND8V as follows:
Enclosed are complaints against your station regarding operation on September 26, 2001. The complaints allege that you disrupted communications on 14.315 MHz after you perceived interference from operators on that frequency to your communications on 14.313 MHz. The complaints indicate that you threatened the other Amateurs with retaliation both on and off the air.
[See http://arrl enforcement letters for the Period Ending 6 Oct ’01]
[18] ND8V played a very effective delaying game with Riley. First, he ‘ragged’ his reply. Then, he failed to sign it. Then he falsely amended his address on the FCC database from Parchment to Kalamazoo as a further excuse/delaying stratagem. Then he ignored telephone requests to sign his reply/explanation. By then the matter was not only seriously ‘dated’, but exceeded Riley’s pathologically short attention span and apparently was quietly forgotten.

RE: Warning
Notice--Amateur License ND8V
Dear Mr. Guernsey:
On October 1, 2001, we sent copies of complaints to
you that had been filed concerning the operation of your Amateur station ND8V
requested a response. That inquiry was pursuant to Section 308(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, which gives the Commission the
authority to obtain information from licensees regarding the operation of their
station.
You responded by letter dated December 18, 2001, but
your response was unsigned. On March 6, 2002, we returned your response for
signature. In a telephone conversation on April 22, 2002, you were reminded to
sign and return the letter. We have not received the letter.
Please be advised that all licensees are required to
answer Commission correspondence. If no answer is received to our October 1,
2001 inquiry by June 15, 2002, we will initiate enforcement action against your
station and operator licenses. This action will range from a monetary
forfeiture to station license revocation and operator license suspension.
This is the last warning you will receive about this
matter.
[See http://arrl
enforcement letters for the Period Ending 1 Jun

Search the http://arrl enforcement letters under ND8V for more details on this ‘dog and pony show’ and for evidence of his lengthy and curious history with the FCC generally.
[20] Check out ND8V generally on the Internet using a good search engine—but don’t forget your ‘barf bag’….
[23] Because of acid reflux disease, morbid obesity and otherwise, ND8V has an inimitable voice/speech pattern. In addition to purposely running a very rough/broad station at obscene power levels even when calling his neighbour N8JOX living only ~1 mi. away [check out their ZIP Codes: they’re the same], he overtly and unashamedly styles himself the premier QRM’er on 20m. His ‘anonymous’ specialty is loud guttural belching/’barfing’ on top of frequencies/operators he does not like generally and those occasionally conversing in a foreign language in particular. Once you hear and ID him, you’re very unlikely to mistake him/his MO/signal strength for anyone else. Try it—you won’t like it.
[24] Currently ND8V and K3VR, the premiere ‘ventrilo-hams’ on 20m, are particularly fond of imitating Donnie W4JYZ’s southern drawl—and the Canadian—among others….
[25] This included not checking his own ND8V file—which had by then already grown to ~1” thick—in fewer than the then three years on his watch alone—and which contained disturbing similar-fact evidence submitted by numerous credible independent others. But don’t believe any of this: do your own FOIA access/research.
[26] In Mar ’07 the ARRL after only 5+ years finally took our advice—you’re welcome—and has apparently done away with this unfair/illegal nonsence.
[27] These misfits engage in three levels of nefarious activity: serious malicious QRM’ing/driving others off frequency, ‘for sport’; affecting others’ licences, to show toadies their power with Riley; and negatively impacting others’ lives by stalking and even making fraudulent criminal complaints. And Riley is still ‘soo confused’….
[28] There is no evidence whatsoever in the FCC files that Riley made any attempt to review ND8V’s licence as promised. Shame on you Riley!
[30] Likely. After all, Riley did not know that the phonetic alphabet had been routinely used in amateur radio—for only ~100 years—or since ~‘the radio year dot’.
[32] Riley must have forgotten about the American’s letter and audiotape containing inter alia a death threat—to which to-date he has not replied….
[34] Riley admitted—in writing—that the only radio amateur he talks to on a regular basis is ND8V. Why would any supposedly responsible regulator want to “talk” to the likes of ND8V even once/at all?!*
[35] The ARRL reported that on 25 Nov ’02 Riley
wrote ND8V as follows:
The Commission continues to receive complaints about
your appropriation of certain frequencies, and your interference to certain
operators who attempt to use them. The frequencies complained about are 14.262,
14.275 and various other frequencies on the 20 Meter Amateur band.
You are reminded that frequencies in the Amateur
Service are shared, and if you have a problem with their use you should file a
complaint with the Enforcement Bureau. You have been advised before regarding
such incidents, specifically on November 14, 2000. We also note that your
authority to operate below 30 MHz was removed on that date as well, for a
period of nine months. You were also issued a Warning Notice concerning the
same issue on May 20, 2002.
This is the last warning you will receive in regard
to operation of ND8V. Any future incidents of such operation, even a single
incident, will result in a monetary forfeiture and revocation proceedings
against your license. We also request that you refrain from operation on the 20
Meter Amateur Band until these matters are resolved.
[See http://arrl
enforcement letters for the Period Ending 24 Dec ‘02]
N.B. that the first frequency [a Net]
listed by Riley as 14.272 MHz was in fact operating on 14.262 MHz. Just another
example of Riley’s pathological inattention to detail, you say? Unlikely! To
the extent that these supposed typographical ‘escape clauses’ are a recurring
theme with Riley, they virtually and with a semi-clear conscience beg the
defence of non est factum [Lat.: it’s not my doing/I wasn’t there].
[37] FCC
Enforcement, 1270 Fairfield Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325
I, JACK MORRIS MALONE declare as follows:
I am over the age of 18 years, and am a resident of
the County of Cochise, State of
Arizona,
mailing address of 9305 E. Hereford Rd., Hereford, Arizona 85615. I am a
Federal
Communications
Commission licensed Amateur Radio Station/Operator of the Amateur Extra
Class
with the call sign of W7EJJ. I was first licensed in 1951 as W8HED and also
granted a
Second
Class Radiotelephone License with Ship Radar Endorsement that same year. I
state all
matters
set forth in this Declaration based upon personal knowledge. If called upon to
testify to
them,
I would and could competently do so.
1. On or about the middle of October, 2002 while
operating my Radio Station W7EJJ and
actively engaged in communication with the Diamond
State Radio Net (AKA Delaware
Net), which had been operating at approximately 15:15
UTC on the 20 Meter band,
14,262 KHz USB for approximately 20 minutes, our net
controller at this time was
George Danforth, N3ELN and with the following members
to best of my recollection
having checked into the net W3IGM, K3GUX, W3TDU,
W3FEG, KE6QB, K9GLJ,
K9POV, KB0WVA and KB0YI. A station identifying himself
as ND8V broke into our net
and told N3ELN that he was splattering down band into
him and to turn his microphone
gain down. Several of us on the net went down and
checked if N3ELN was indeed
splattering. I went down 2.4 KHz and up 2.4 KHz and
could not detect N3ELN at all
below or above 2.0 KHz of 14,262 KHz and N3ELN had
very clear and what I would call
normal audio with no flat topping or splatter at all.
ND8V then told N3ELN to get off the
14,262 KHz frequency that it was his. We kept on with our
net and ND8V broke in again
and told N3ELN the following “you old bastard, get off
the frequency”. We went on with
our net and turned the frequency over to the Buckeye
Net at 16:30 UTC
2. The next morning, which I had been monitoring
14,262 KHz starting at 15:00 UTC,
N3ELN came on the air at approximately 15:15 UTC and
asked if the frequency was clear (which it had been since 15:00 UTC), got no response
and proceeded to make a call for check in’s to the Delaware Net. If I remember
right he picked up W3IGM for check in and made another call. At this
time ND8V broke in on the frequency and said “the frequency is in use” N3ELN
went back to him and informed him that he had checked the frequency and nobody
came back to him and that he had started the net. ND8V came back and told him
“to get off the frequency”. N3ELN then moved down to 14,260 KHz and proceeded
with the net for the day. I checked in as well as many did, but got the
comments from quite a few that they had to hunt for us and that ND8V was on the
regular frequency that we use.
3. For the last month or more this is what we had to
put up with. ND8V would jump on the
frequency as soon as the Delaware Net would start.
4. There are two older brothers, named Milt and Irv
that also use the 14,262 KHz frequency early in the morning and have always
been very courteous. After they sign clear they turn the frequency over to the
Delaware Net. Approximately 2 weeks ago I monitored them on 14,261.5 having a
QSO. They had been on for at least 15 to 20 minutes and ND8V came on 14,262 and
started calling CQ continuously. Milt went up 500 Hz and tried to tell ND8V
that he was interfering with their QSO on 14,261.5 KHz. ND8V kept up calling CQ
continuously ignoring Milt, finally Milt and Irv had to leave the frequency. I
have not heard them since.
5. I monitored ND8V in a QSO with K4RUB on 14,262 KHz
that this was a good frequency for them to take over as they were having too
much trouble up on 14,313 and 14,315 KHz. That they would make this frequency
14,262 KHz their own frequency from now on and not let anybody else use it.
6. On or about November 7, 2002 I was on The
International Association of Airline Hams,
Inc. Net. (hereinafter referred to as IAAH) of which I
am a member and Editor of the
IAAH Newsletter published quarterly. The IAAH has a
net on 14,280 KHz on Sun., Wed.
and Thur. from 15:00 to 18:00 UTC. On this day after
the net had been in operation for
approximately one and a half hours we picked up Hugh,
W5FM the captain of a
commercial airliner checking into the net at 37,000
feet over Kansas City en route to
Cleveland. ND8V broke into the net frequency and told
W5FM that he was transmitting
FM and had spurs over the whole 20 meter band. We were
copying W5FM in mode USB
with no problem. W5FM shut down immediately. Collins
Aircraft HF equipment will not
go into FM mode as far as I know.
7. This morning
November 25, 2002 there was a QSO going on the frequency of 14,262.0 KHz with a
group and at 15:24:45 UTC the group cleared the frequency. At exactly 15:25:00
UTC KB0YI and KB0WVA started the Delaware Net. with N3ELN joining in. At
exactly 15:26:15 UTC ND8V started calling CQ on 14,262.5 KHz deliberately
QRM’ing the Net. He then came down to 14,262.0 and
told us to get off the frequency
that we were QRM’ing him at 14,262.5 KHz and he had
been on that frequency for quite
a while. This was a lie as I had been monitoring
14,262.0 KHz since 15:00 UTC and the
only traffic on that frequency was the group that
cleared the frequency at 15:24:45 UTC
there was nothing on 14,262.5. ND8V deliberately QRM’s
the Delaware Net. We finally
had to move the Delaware Net. down to 14,261.0 to get
away from him. Stations
monitoring at this time was KB0YI, KB0WVA, N3ELN,
K9GLJ and myself W7EJJ.
8. After monitoring 14,262 KHz for the last month and
a half. If anybody tries to use 14,262 KHz(especially the Delaware Net), when
it is clear and not in use ND8V will come on and either run them off or QRM
them until they have to leave.
9. Both the Delaware Net and the IAAH Net have many
experienced and professional radio operators in them. N3ELN was first licensed
in 1937 as a W8 and W3FEG our other
Delaware net controller was first licensed back in the
days of spark gap mode of
transmission. The IAAH has many members of
professional AINC and Airline radio
operators and of course pilots, retired and current.

[38] This very phrase had previously been used by others in correspondence with Riley and was later found [via FOIA] in a lengthy ~relatively cogent written complaint on record in his ND8V file.
[39] W4NTI [another of ND8V’s toadies, see below] for example has been heard to say: ’clear and listening but not vacating the frequency’ [whatever that may mean] and variations thereon. Then, sometimes many minutes later, if anyone not “in” on the shenanigans tried to use it, he would chase them off, saying that ‘the frequency was in use/occupied’…. See also THE 14_313 MHz LID PAGE.htm about W4NTI [and NR5T] and do a general search on the Internet on this misfit, racist, bigot and hypocrite.
[40] ND8V and/or some of his closest toadies routinely ‘suck up’ to [and figuratively at least “suck off”] Riley. For example, they copied and exchanged his ‘good operating pap’ and otherwise on their QRZ.com and other call-sign listings—but did/do virtually the opposite! To the extent that ND8V and toadies’ conduct generally is typically 180 degrees removed from their diction and/or objective truth, it appears to be a “phasing problem”, HI…. But don’t believe any of this: do your own monitoring/research.
[44] Brian is listed as a ‘second-stringer’ only because he has been an overt misfit for less than a year…. But, in that time he has distinguished himself….
[45] ND8V reportedly had/has several amplifiers that can easily exceed the legal limit: including an Alpha 77DX and a Henry 8K Ultra. He was recently overheard looking for an Alpha 77SX [3cx1500 x2]—capable of nearly three times the legal limit….
[47] The ARRL reported that on 7 Apr ’03 Riley wrote ND8V as follows [emphasis in original]:
Under separate cover the Commission is forwarding to
you a recording of transmissions from your station on March 26, 2003, on the
20-meter amateur band. These transmissions consisted of threats to another
amateur operator, deliberate transmissions (calling "CQ") on top of
ongoing communications even while acknowledging those communications,
broadcasting, and deliberate interference.
A review of your license records reflects the
following:
1. November 4, 1998: Warning Notice
regarding malicious interference on 14.310, 14.313, and 3.9 MHz.
2. April 19, 2000: Letter requesting you to
contact the Commission in regard to complaints about the operation of your
station;
3. October 17, 2000: Notice of intent to
designate license for revocation and suspension;
4. November 14, 2000: Authority removed to
operate below 30 MHz, January 2001 through September 2001;
5. October 1, 2001: Letter requesting you to contact
the Commission in regard to complaints about the operation of your station;
6. December 6, 2001: Warning Notice
regarding failure to reply to October 2001 letter;
7. May 20, 2002: Warning Notice
regarding failure to reply to October 2001 letter.
Since December 2002, we have received complaints
about deliberate interference from your station on the 20-meter amateur band.
The operation of your station over the last several years raises questions
about your qualifications to remain a Commission licensee. While some of the
interference results from personal disputes or from what you apparently
perceive as deliberate interference to your station from other stations, you
have apparently ignored our written and verbal warnings not to retaliate by
on-the-air counter-interference.
The tape that you will receive indicates that on
March 26, 2003, you made repeated personal threats to another operator and in
spite of acknowledging transmissions from the other station on the air,
proceeded to transmit on top of his communications even after you had
terminated your earlier communications--those that you apparently felt were
interfered with. You apparently perceived that his interference to your earlier
transmissions was deliberate. Whether that was the case, deliberate retaliatory
threats and transmissions on top of the communications are against Commission
rules, and indicate that the numerous warnings to date have little, if any,
effect in regarding to bringing your operation into compliance with Commission
rules.
Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, gives the Commission the authority to obtain information from
licensees about the operation of their station. Accordingly, you are requested to
review the tape recording and respond in writing and in detail within 20 days
from the date you receive it. The information you submit will be used to
determine whether: 1) to designate your operator license for suspension, and
your station license for revocation; or 2) to designate a proceeding to
determine whether voice privileges should be removed from your license for the
remainder of the license term, which expires in 2012.

Parchment, MI 49004
RE: Amateur Radio license ND8V: Agreement to
Discontinue Voice Operation Below 30 MHz for Three Years
Dear Mr. Guernsey:
On April 7, 2003, we notified you of
March 26, 2003 transmissions from your station on the 20-Meter Amateur band
that consisted of threats to another Amateur operator, deliberate transmissions
(calling “CQ”) on top of ongoing communications even while acknowledging those
communications, broadcasting, and deliberate interference. We detailed your license records as follows:
1.
November 4, 1998: Warning Notice
regarding malicious interference on 14.310, 14.313, and 3.9 MHz.
2. April 19, 2000: Letter requesting you to
contact the Commission in regard to complaints about the operation of your
station;
3.
October 17, 2000: Notice of
intent to designate license for revocation and suspension;
4.
November 14, 2000: authority
removed to operate below 30 MHz, January 2001 through September 2001;
5.
October 1, 2001: Letter
requesting you to contact the Commission in regard to complaints about the
operation of your station;
6.
December 6, 2001: Warning Notice
regarding failure to reply to October 2001 letter;
7.
May 20, 2002: Warning Notice
regarding failure to reply to October 2001 letter.
The Commission letter of April 7, 2003 stated that
since December 2002, we have received complaints about deliberate interference
from your station on the 20 Meter Amateur band, and notified you that the
operation of your station over the last several years raises questions about
your qualifications to remain a Commission licensee. While some of the interference results from personal disputes or
from what you apparently perceive as deliberate interference to your station
from other stations, you have apparently ignored our written and verbal
warnings not to retaliate by on-the-air counter-interference. Deliberate
retaliatory threats and transmissions on top of the communications are against
Commission rules, and indicate that the numerous warnings to date have little,
if any, effect in regarding to bringing your operation into compliance with
Commission rules.
The letter of April 7, 2003 stated that the
information requested would be used to determine whether: 1) to designate your
operator license for suspension, and your station license for revocation, for
the remainder of the license term; or 2) to designate a proceeding to determine
whether voice privileges should be removed from your license for the remainder
of the license term. Your license term
expires in December 2012.
In
settlement of these enforcement issues, and to avoid a hearing before an
Administrative Law Judge and a possible license revocation or loss of voice
mode privileges for the remainder of your present license term (until December
2012), you state that you agree to a restriction of your operation to non-voice
modes below 30 MHz for a period of three years, beginning August 1, 2003 and
ending automatically (assuming no violations of the agreement) at midnight July
31, 2006.
You
may indicate your agreement by signing below and returning this letter to the
letterhead address. Please retain a
copy for your records.
Sincerely,

[49] If anyone think this an aberration/overstatement, think again and for example see Jim NN6EE’s comment of 9 Sep ’04 on the eHam ‘string’ “All Hams Need a Secret Jamming Location” mentioned above, on the subject of conspiring OOs who were terminated by the ARRL….
[50] The letter to ND8V did not in any way mention/identify the American, the chief complainant and object of the criminal threats. The letter to the American similarly did not mention/identify ND8V in any way. Yet, the ARRL digest reporting on this, datelined 25 April 2003 Newington, CT openly connects the two to the great detriment of the American. Clearly, Riley has been ‘telling tales out of school’….
[52] Lest anyone think this an over-statement, the following comments by Nedra KK5PN among very similar others [both for some reason undated, but likely c. 2002] were found in Riley’s files [the emphasis was in the original]:
“It was
really disappointing to me to hear that the stumpjumpers who wilfully interfere
with the mobiles and maritime mobiles knew ahead of time that the mobiles on
14.302.5 were going to receive letters!
It is also sad to know that private comments put on your recorder by one of our personal mobile friends were quoted by Mike – ND8V the very next day before you even returned the phone call of the ham who had left the comments. He didn’t seem bothered by this, but I find it disturbing.”
[53] Recently, Riley illogically wrote yet another letter to the New Yorker…. This related to a QSO the New Yorker had with the American [in Polish!] and revolved around a proposed QSY apparently to get away from some adjacent-channel interference. The so-called “charge” in a nutshell, which Riley prima facie endorsed, was that the New Yorker briefly asked—twice—‘if the frequency was in use’, without a word more! The complainant, surprise, surprise, was KT0DX—one of ND8V’s feeble-reasoning/fraudulent then second-string toadies—who called this “malicious interference”!! This must rank as yet another ‘low water’ mark [after the phonetics fiasco] in Riley’s demonstrated feeble reasoning/radio-amateur knowledge!!! In the eight-page reply, composed by the Canadian, HI, the New Yorker took full advantage of the opportunity to rip Riley another ‘anal orifice’. Riley is such a slow learner! A copy of this ‘rocket’—which is a virtual ‘template’ on how to reply to Riley’s form letters—is available via FOIA request at the FCC.
[54] These were apparently uttered on 26 Dec ’03 but only published some six months later on 24 May ‘04! This supposedly was on 14.255 [but actually was on 14.275 as usual] and the ‘typo’ again arguably was no accident. These ‘typos’ might be Riley’s feeble way of trying to divert ‘official’ attention from 14.275. Curiously, this belated development occurred ~a week after the American wrote a follow up letter to his Congressman, this time asking him to inquire with Riley into the non-action on/responsiveness to the original complaints of malicious QRM reported to the FCC more than a year previously….
See http://www.arrl.org/news/enforcement_logs/2004/0612.html
[59] Ditto.
[60] FYI a.k.a. “The Royal Canadian Incompetent Police” to some. Incidentally, CSIS was set up after The McDonald Commission in 1981 found that the RCMP had engaged in criminal wrongdoing—theft, arson, bombing mail-boxes—and fraudulently blaming this on the Front de Liberation de Quebec (FLQ) in the 1970s. More recently, after ~20 years of investigation by both CSIS and the RCMP into the horrendous 1985 Air India bombing—that took more than 300 lives—both agencies were slammed in 2005 by a Judge in an unprecedented Supreme Court of B.C. criminal case for continuing incompetence and worse—and both of the accused went free largely as a consequence…. In the Fall of 2006 both agencies were again ‘centered out’ for severe criticism in the findings of the Maher Arar Inquiry, which found, for example, that the RCMP aided and abetted in the arrest [by US authorities] and ‘rendition’ to/torture by Syrian authorities of an innocent Canadian citizen! Plus ca change, plus ca reste la meme….
[61] This is the Canadian ~equivalent of the FBI—but without the corrosive J. Edgar Hoover ‘Director for Life’/tutu/’bath house’ influence….
[62] IF they were CSIS and RCMP, this ~generally made sense to the Canadian, who knew that ‘Tweedle Dee’ and ‘Tweedle Dum’ usually travelled together, because CSIS can keep people under surveillance, but has no legal power of arrest or the ability to lay charges in Canada….
[63] Radio intercept 7 Dec ’04 at ~1250 PST 14.272 MHz USB: Ken N9JQM in QSO with ND8V and W4NTI about the attempt to involve the USSS.
[64] It would appear that QRZ has had a Fraud running it all these years….
Anonymously known as QRZ_EDITOR [but in reality Michael J. Jacobus N4DIA (Defence Intelligence Agency?) a.k.a. “Secret Squirrel” and “Psycho”, a felon twice convicted for fraud (once for impersonating a Naval Officer and the second time for defrauding $50,000 from his ex-girlfriend)]. In commenting on N4DIA and the still unravelling story, Hamsexy Management used such words as: anonymous, authoritarian, psycho, secret, unfair, vitriol, phantom, liar, sarcasm, strange stories referring to 9/11 [and Intel], etc. Now, Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR has prima facie had preferential treatment at QRZ generally and a very ‘close relationship’ with this fraudulent “Uber Administrator” in particular…. It would appear that ‘birds with black feathers do like to flock together’ [pun intended]….
See 20 Jul ’06 article “QRZ_EDITOR a Fraud?” on http://www.hamsexy.com/cms/index.php
[66] It was noted as such on the UnHam site and might still be viewable when searching for ND8V.
[67] The ARRL reported that on 14 Dec ’04 Riley wrote ND8V as follows [emphasis added]:
Enclosed is a complaint against the operation of
your station on November 21, 2004, on 14.269 MHz. Also enclosed is a digital
recording of the communications referenced in the complaint.
The complaint alleges deliberate interference to
ongoing communications, that you claimed to be operating a net, and that you
used a false call sign "VE7KFM." Also on the recording a
voice that appears to be yours states, "See how big my signal is? I
will head hunt you the rest of the weekend." A preliminary analysis of
the recording, in comparison with known recordings of your station, indicates
that it is your voice on the recording.
Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, gives the Commission the authority to obtain information from
applicants and licensees about the operation of their station and their
qualifications to retain their license. Accordingly, you are requested to address
the allegations, with a written and notarized statement, within 20 days of
receipt of this letter.
See http://www.arrl.org/news/enforcement_logs/2005/0123.html
[68] The ARRL reported that on 11 Jan ’03 Riley wrote ND8V in follow up [emphasis added]:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter issued to you on
December 14, 2004. The letter enclosed a recording of transmissions from your
station on November 21, 2004, in which you engage in deliberate interference
and threats of continuing interference.
You claim that although you received the letter, you
did not receive the recording. As a result, we are affording you 10
additional days from receipt of this letter to address the allegations in our
December 14, 2004, letter.
Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, you are required to respond to the Commission. You are
reminded that your response must be written and notarized. Additionally,
in an inquiry of this type we are required to notify you that a willfully [sic]
false or misleading reply would be punishable under United States Code Title
18, Section 1001, and would be a separate violation of Commission rules.
See http://www.arrl.org/news/enforcement_logs/2005/0205.html
[69] The ARRL reported that on 31 Jan ’03 Riley wrote ND8V yet another follow up [emphasis is in the original]:
On December 14, 2004, we sent a letter to you
enclosing a complaint against the operation of your station on November 21,
2004, on 14.269 MHz. We also sent you a digital recording of the communications
referenced in the complaint.
The complaint alleges deliberate interference to
ongoing communications, that you claimed to be operating a net, and that you
used a false call sign, "VE7KFM." Also on the recording a voice that
appears to be yours states "See how big my signal is? I will head hunt
you the rest of the weekend." A preliminary analysis of the recording,
in comparison with known recordings of your station, indicates that it is your
voice on the recording.
Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, you were requested to address the allegations, with a
written and notarized statement, within 20 days of receipt of the
letter. Your reply dated January 21, 2005, was not notarized and did not fully
address the complaint.
As a result, you are requested to provide the
following information within 20 days of receipt of this letter.
a. Did you review the CD made available to you of
the transmissions on 14.269 MHz on November 21, 2004?
b. During the communications on the CD, a station
identified as "VE7KFM". Were you the person identifying as
"VE7KFM"?
c. During the communications on the CD, the person
identifying as "VE7KFM", stated "See how big my signal is? I
will head hunt you the rest of the weekend." Were you the person stating
that?
d. During the communications on the CD, the person
identifying as "VE7KFM", stated, in response to a question as to
whether a threat was being made, "Yes it is". Were you the person
stating "Yes it is"?
In an inquiry of this type we are required to
notify you that a willfully [sic] false or misleading reply would be
punishable under United States Code Title 18, Section 1001, and would be
a separate violation of Commission rules. Your response must be in writing,
signed, dated and notarized. The information you submit will be used to
determine what action, if any, to take against you. Enforcement action may
range from monetary forfeiture, removal of voice privileges of license ND8V on
all amateur bands, or license revocation.
See http://www.arrl.org/news/enforcement_logs/2005/0219.html
[70] But this would be highly perverse in the historical context. Recall that ~two years earlier ND8V initially—but secretly—verbally agreed with Riley to a 3-year voice prohibition on all the HF bands for much less.
[71] For example, see: http://www.geocities.com/lycium7/cyberpath.html and http://groups.msn.com/Cyberpath/cyberbullying.msnw and more….
[72] Search the Internet using the keyword K1MAN for much evidence of this.
[73] Worse yet, several of these were based on “news” by Matthew Graves published ‘afar’ in England, see infra:

[76] Look up “Sociopath” a.k.a. ‘Sociolized Psychopath’ [now renamed “Antisocial Personality Disorder”] in learned papers/articles on the Internet.
Antisocial personality disorder:
A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation
of the rights of others and inability or unwillingness to conform to what are
considered to be the norms of society.

[80] Brian K3VR is notorious for breaking the longstanding ‘first name/call sign only’ radio-amateur convention. He does this precisely in order to ‘splash’ the combinations/permutations of his targets’ full/proper names and call signs as widely as possible on the Internet…. Did we ever tell you that Brian Crow K3VR is a cyberpath, very arguably a sociopath and possibly a psychopath?
We recently published an article in which we
mentioned the name of Mr Karol F Madera VE7KFM, a radio amateur from B.C. in
Canada. This article was submitted by one of our readers.
However, upon checking the claims contained in the
article, we found that none of the claims could in any way be substantiated,
and were therefore totally without foundation. We immediately withdrew this
article from our website.
I therefore wish to apologise to Mr Madera for this
error, and offer a full and unreserved apology for any distress or
inconvenience that this may have caused him, or for any damage to his good name
and standing.

[90] CORRECTION/APOLOGY:
We made a mistake. In the e-Veritas 25 (7 Nov '06) edition of the "Ex
Cadets in the News" section we included a note/link, submitted by 'a
stranger', about 8548 Captain (ret'd) Karol Madera (RRMC/RMC '70).
It was only after the edition was released to our readership that we realized
that the reference--maliciously submitted by a person 'adverse in
interest'--was highly inappropriate. As such, we obviously should not have had
it published.
We found that the info in/supporting the link could not be substantiated and
was therefore without proper foundation. At the first opportunity after
realizing our mistake we withdrew the note/link from our website.
e-Veritas regrets the mistake and offers a full and unreserved apology for any
distress or inconvenience that this may have caused Captain Madera, or for any
damage to his good name and standing.

bottom of http://members.shaw.ca/ve7kfm/
[91] The latest ‘most geographically distant’ formal complaint was/is from a senior English engineer working for the Defence Department in the Republic of South Africa. ND8V reportedly again disposed of this latest complaint with a single telephone call to Riley—wait for it—again characterizing it as “all lies”….
[92] Do a ‘deep’ Internet search on this fraudulent Machiavellian misfit in general and his patent bias and long-term “fixation” on K1MAN and anyone even peripherally associated with him in particular. But, since a mere apprehension of bias is disqualifying and connotes dishonesty in law, Brian ‘The Fraudulent Crow’ K3VR has through his “Petition to Deny”, the unattributed/anonymous CMSPIRG site and others/otherwise thereby actually helped the K1MAN defence, should the matter come before an administrative tribunal [which as of the time of this update K1MAN reportedly doubts]…. But, what are we to think of/do with the >1,000/~95% of the feeble-reasoning American radio amateurs who were sucked in by K3VR’s machinations on QRZ directly and especially indirectly/covertly elsewhere on the Internet? The author maintains that this proves that one cannot underestimate the intelligence of the average American radio amateur. While K1MAN laconically/humorously suggests: “Let them eat Crow”, HI.
[93] There have been changes, brought about chiefly by the Canadian, but operationalized secretly and ultimately ineffectively behind the scenes, which is so typical of Riley’s ‘soft approach’/MO. But, don’t believe any of this—monitor ND8V, K3VR and toadies for a day, week, month—or as the author has done, for years—and throughout report him/them only to Kevin J. MARTIN, Chairman FCC at KJMWEB@fcc.gov but with a Cc or blind Cc or FWD to the author for info/certainty and to keep the FCC honest. If you don’t get a reply from the FCC in a reasonable period of time [say within Riley’s usual “20 days”], contact the author for a ‘guaranteed’ method of making the FCC respond. Try it—you’ll like it….
[94] Until very recently ND8V literally could not spell Hollingsworth correctly, but appeared to have great latitude on QRZ for his nonsensical regurgitations of Riley’s ‘Good Operating Pap’ and clearly racist commentary. This while K1MAN, followed by VE7KFM and a few select others were actually de-listed…. Could it be that the following VE7KFM ‘Bio’ was too explicit?
ATTENTION
RADIO-AMATEURS & SWLs:
I normally operate on ~14.272 thro’ 14.275 MHz USB and am frequently
severely maliciously QRM’ed—largely because I am Canadian and occasionally
converse using foreign languages. The
QRM’ers are American LIDs ‘exiled’ from [or shuttling to/from] the infamous
frequency of 14.313 MHz—many of whom are ‘certified mental defectives’. Their current 400+ lb. ‘ringleader’ is Mad
Mikee ‘Kalamazoo Cuckoo’….
Monitor and REPORT any malicious QRM you hear
on top of my/my correspondents’ signals ONLY to Michael POWELL, Chairman FCC at
mpowell@fcc.gov but with a Cc or BCc
or FWD to me for info and to keep the FCC honest.
Don’t waste your time reporting anything to
Riley ‘Rot’ Hollingsworth(less) K4ZDH because as documented in that famous and
well-received investigative/opinion article “THE LIFE of RILEY”, for the past
~five years he has been an integral part of the problem and as such is unlikely
to be a part of the solution….
Request an updated/annotated version of “THE
LIFE of RILEY” via VE7KFM@Yahoo.com
using an overt e-mail address only.
73
Or, to the extent that VE7KFM was removed
immediately after the last U.S. Presidential election, was this perhaps more
political? Maybe VE7KFM was removed because in only the 30 days his ‘Bio’ was on QRZ it
was visited nearly 600 times? Or, was it as a result of the hundreds of
individuals who requested The Life of Riley
during the same time frame? Maybe it was due to the handful of listeners who,
as directed, complained directly to Powell [some of whom copied the author as
requested in the ‘Bio’]? Or, perhaps it had to do with all of the above—and
then some? And then some, because just as ‘bears shit in the woods’, QRZ is
‘tied at the hip’/dependent on the FCC/Riley for their data input…. It may be
as simple as ‘nudge, wink and say no more’…. Shame on QRZ! Look up http://www.hamsexy.com for an
irreverent alternative to QRZ….
[95] As discussed, ND8V and most of his ‘first-string’ toadies are seriously mentally/emotionally disordered. Our society currently believes that even the seriously mentally disturbed can/should live ‘in the community’. Since the amateur radio community is but a microcosm of society at large, Riley’s approach apparently is to treat mentally disordered amateur radio operators in a similar fashion. Despite their very disruptive and clearly criminal behaviour on the premier 20m band heard around the world, Riley has obviously been cutting these miscreants much ‘slack’, likely in part for reasons of public policy and a misguided sense of personal empathy/sympathy.
[96] Possibly more, because after >six years of officially documented and patently criminal behaviour, even public policy and empathy/sympathy should long ago have approached their limits. So, the next logical question arising is: why is Riley continually so forgiving with this particular handful of hooligans—mentally disordered or otherwise? One tentative answer to this is highly troubling/disquieting: there are tantalizing clues and some evidence that Riley also may be suffering from a form of mental disease….
[97] Hollingsworth(less) indeed! Thanks for the apt ‘suffix’ to/© Ed KU4BP further to his 27 Sep ’03 comment on The Life of Riley as originally published on eHam.
