Mr. Blanton:
MRA has discovered another offending page, specifically: https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Restricted_Info
This page contains a link to the following offending page: [REMOVED]

Notwithstanding your disclaimer of not controlling the second webpage, you are sending people directly to this page that
continues to violate the law. While MRA is going to deal directly with the person that operates the offending page, 
radioreference.com must eliminate this link.

And just to be clear, MRA does not object to the publication of its site locations and frequencies. It is the 
information pertaining to MRA’s customers – which could only have been obtained by violating the statute – 
to which MRA objects.

David J. Kaufman

Per MRA's request through David, we removed the link to the external Web site in question.
