News: Melb man arrested for fake transmissions to pilots

Post by vk6hgr »

Melbourne man Paul Sant has been charged with unauthorised broadcasting over to pilots over radio bands restricted to aviation users, causing one plane to abort a landing to Tullamarine Airport.

Sant, 19, is alleged to have placed 16 separate transmissions to pilots at Tullamarine and Avalon airports between 5 September and 3 November.

It's thanks to these horrible idiots, that radio tinkerers, enthusiasts, and amateurs will remain forever under suspicion by members of the public.
The quieter you become, the more you will hear.
