Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) File No.: EB-05-DL-103 Joann Anson ) ) Citation No.: C20063250003 d.b.a. Striker Antennas ) d.b.a. Striker CB Shop ) ) Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73128 ) CITATION Released: September 29, 2006 By the District Director, Dallas Office, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau: 1. This is an Official Citation issued pursuant to Section 503(b)(5) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), to Joann Anson d.b.a. Striker Antennas and as Striker CB Shop ("Joann Anson") for violation of Section 302(b) of the Act, and Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Commission's Rules ("Rules"). 2. An investigation by the Commission's Dallas Office of the Enforcement Bureau revealed that on July 20, 2006, Joann Anson offered for sale non-certified Citizens Band ("CB") transceivers, namely, Connex model 4300HP, Galaxy models DX45MP, DX55T and DX99V, General model Lee, and Magnum models S3, S380, S6 and S9. These transceivers did not have FCC ID labels indicating they had been certified. According to Commission records, these devices have not received an FCC equipment authorization, which is required for CB transmitters marketed in the United States. 3. Section 302(b) of the Act provides: "No person shall manufacture, import, sell, offer for sale, or ship devices or home electronic equipment and systems, or use devices, which fail to comply with regulations promulgated pursuant to this section." Section 2.803(a)(1) of the Rules provides that "...no person shall sell or lease, or offer for sale or lease (including advertising for sale or lease), or import, ship or distribute for the purpose of selling or leasing or offering for sale or lease, any radio frequency device unless: (1) In the case of a device subject to certification, such device has been authorized by the Commission in accordance with the rules in this chapter and is properly identified and labeled..." Joann Anson's offering for sale of the transceivers listed in paragraph 2 violates both sections. 4. Although Joann Anson marketed the devices listed in paragraph 2 as 10 meter mobile radios, the Commission has evaluated devices similar to those at issue and concluded that they fall within the definition of a CB transmitter because they can be easily configured to operate on CB frequencies. 5. Additionally, dual use CB and amateur radios of the kind at issue here may not be certificated under the Commission's rules. 6. Violations of the Act or the Rules may subject the violator to substantial monetary forfeitures, seizure of equipment through in rem forfeiture action, and criminal sanctions, including imprisonment. 7. Joann Anson may request an interview at the closest FCC Office, which is Federal Communications Commission, 9330 LBJ Freeway, #1170, Dallas, Texas 75243. You may contact this office by telephone, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, to schedule this interview, which must take place within 14 days of this Citation. Joann Anson may also submit a written statement to the above address within 14 days of the date of this Citation. Any written statements should specify what actions have been taken to correct the violations outlined above. Please reference file number EB-05-DL-103 when corresponding with the Commission. 8. Any statement or information provided by you may be used by the Commission to determine if further enforcement action is required. Any knowingly or willfully false statement made in reply to this Citation is punishable by fine or imprisonment. 9. IT IS ORDERED that copies of this Citation shall be sent by First Class U.S. Mail and Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to Joann Anson at her address of record and to the address of record for Striker Antennas.

It appears on www.fcc.gov. Look for "Bureas", scroll down to "Enforcement Bureau". When that opens, scroll down on the LEFT side of the page to "Orders". Scroll down, by date, to around 9/29 of this year.
See "Striker Antennas........" You will find EXACTLY what is posted above. This is not "crap". It is the official FCC website where most of these hits are found. You also find a BUNCH of OTHER shops as mentioned. I don't make this stuff up. It is absolutely true. FCC usually posts the actions against trucking companies at www.arrl.org because it is a matter that is of HUGE interest to the LICENSED Amateur Radio Operators. It is NOT fair for honest people to have to STUDY, WORK, and TEST for the privileges they EARN by following the law only to have a group of lazybones to go out to some bootleg shop, buy an illegal radio and start jabbering away.
I can understand that an owner of a shop might not want to admit that they have received correspondence from FCC, but it is right there in black and white. If that is not good enough, then here is the phone # of the FCC official that heads up CB enforcement! 214-575-6361. Ask for Mr. Brock. This FCC notice is public information and is freely distributed via the media and the 'web.
I couldn't find anything on 9-29 for striker antennas, show me where you got that crap...
