The long-running court case of Jack Gerritsen is over–the 70 year-old has been sentenced to seven years in prison on federal charges of interfering with radio communications. The Amateur radio operator was found guilty last year of broadcasting on Coast Guard, military, law enforcement and other public safety frequencies in the Southern California region over a four-year period. The transmissions included long political rants and obscenities. Gerritsen served 38 months on a previous similar conviction, but soon began resuming his pirate broadcasts when he was released in 2003.
