This includes monitoring the transmitting frequency for communications in progress and such other measures as may be necessary to minimize the potential for causing interference.” Turner Construction is operating mobile (MO) radios, call sign WQGM451, and failing to monitor before transmitting on 468.2125 MHz, thus causing interference to the repeater input frequency (FB8) of licensee Whisler Communications, call sign WPWK633.
