MATARAM: The Indonesian Amateur Radio Operators Organization
(Orari) stated on Saturday that Orari's failure to transmit
important messages to its members was due to broadcasters
operating illegally in Indonesia.

Orari headquarters chief Sarwono said that Orari was currently
trying to locate people, including its own members, who operate
radio frequencies without an official permit.

"According to existing regulations, people operating radio
stations illegally could be fined up to Rp 600 million," Sarwono
said in Mataram.

Orari, which has 2,000 members throughout Mataram, is
currently conducting a test of all its members to determine
whether or not its members are following the broadcasting code of
ethics. -- Antara
