John Telek, VK1JT, has been caught by fellow amateur ‘ham’ radio operators sending false data via ADS-B to commercial and civilian aircraft on 1090MHz.
No longer is Telek content with causing harmful interference on the amateur radio service; he is now allegedly causing potentially life-threatening interference to aviation, allegedly transmitting data on 1090MHz to civilian and commercial aircraft.
An amateur radio operator, Josh Mesilane, VK2MES, who is also a civilian pilot, is extremely concerned for aviation safety.
“I’ve successfully tested the ADSB transmit function,” Telek said in a Facebook post. Thereby, Telek has confirmed and admitted publicly that he is transmitting ADS-B data on aviation frequencies. This is a serious federal offence that, if found guilty, can include a prison sentence of up to two years’ imprisonment.
