About Karol Florian Madera, VE7KFM & Co.
Karol Madera is a well known liar who delivers obscene, misogynistic, homophobic, sado-masochistic, racist, Nazi inspired, hate-filled diatribes, via shortwave radio. After turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to the matter for three years, Industry Canada continues to allow Madera to broadcast hate propaganda. We have no faith that Industry Canada will take action to bring Madera into compliance with the expectations of the rest of the civilized world.
Karol Madera attempts damage control with a childish and obscene webpage in which he defames people who have filed complaints about him. Madera's defamation, twisted conspiracy theories, and comically inept pronouncements are completely baseless. His 'proofs' are non-existent. Madera's 'testimonials,' offered by criminals, pedophiles, and dimwits, are laughable and woefully transparent.

Today's Pithy Quotation(s):
"I hope al Qaida cuts your nuts off before your first queer fuck!" ~ Karol Madera to a 13 year old radio enthusiast.
"Although most would find comments attributed to Madera to be stupid, in poor taste and mean spirited...what is free speech?" ~ Jim Laursen, Industry Canada
"He's a fruitcake, several french fries short of a Happy Meal, and the Canadians aren't taking him seriously." ~ FCC Special Counsel, Riley Hollingsworth at the Dayton Hamvention, 2007
Notorious Wal-Mart Cart Pusher Todd Daugherty Still Threatening
Todd Daugherty is a 40 year old Wal-Mart employee who lives with his parents. He is also a part-time cart pusher at the Taylorville, IL Wal-Mart.

Daugherty has apparently become unhinged (again) because this website accurately discussed his two FCC Warning letters and frequent threats, which resulted in an FBI investigation earlier this year. We also discussed reports regarding complaints that Daugherty was trading in child pornography. Daugherty collects and trades colorful animated depictions of large adult men torturing and raping infants orally and anally. Daugherty calls his collection "art" and he regularly spams other forums with grotesque examples of his collection. Lacking space here, please see this FBI Press Release about the legality of such images. Daugherty's blog has been blocked by Google with a content warning. At his blog, Daugherty writes:
"I'M GOING TO BLOW UP HIS FUCKING SERVER, AND CUT HIS FUCKING NUTS OFF AND SEND THEM TO THE FBI. IS THE FBI GOING TO DO ANYTHING, NO WHY?? BECAUSE I WILL SUE THEIR FUCKING ASSES OFF FOR ALLOWING THIS TO CARRY ON LIKE IT HAS, THIS LIBEL AND SLANDER NEED TO STOP AND SINCE THE DOJ AND THE FUCKING FBI DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING BALLS TO DO, I WILL...!!"
Daugherty is well known to the FBI and to his local police department. We speculate that Daugherty has not been arrested because he is not considered a real threat, lacking a car, funds, support, and permission from his parents to leave the house after 7 PM.
Karol Madera in Mr. Gay Canada Contest
We received a verified report today stating that Karol Madera has been entered into the Mr. Gay Canada competition for the town of Saanich, BC, for the contest period, beginning September 18~21st in Vancouver, BC. If Madera fails to gain entry into the finals, he will automatically be entered into the ever popular Go-Go Boy category, although Karol may have too many "miles" on his odometer to have a chance in that subset. At any rate, we wish Karol all the luck in the world, and many happy returns.
False Distress Signal from The Shores of Lake Superior
A recent false SOS distress signal transmitted on the amateur bands, allegedly from the shores of Lake Superior's upper peninsula in Michigan, is under investigation by the Houghton County Sheriff's Department and the US Coast Guard Investigative Service. The USCGIS is a federal law enforcement agency whose law enforcement authority is derived from 14 U.S.C. § 95. The false distress signal is believed to have been transmitted from the vicinity of River Road in Chassell, Michigan.
Coast Guard Authorized to Make Arrests
The authority granted the USCGIS under 14 U.S.C. § 95 provides for Coast Guard special agents to conduct investigations of actual, alleged or suspected criminal activity; carry firearms; execute and serve warrants; and make arrests. The criminal investigative function of the Coast Guard Investigative Service is similar to that of a major crimes unit at a large metropolitan police department, investigating crimes such as those "internal" to the Coast Guard, including fraud, larceny, homicide and rape, as well as "external" investigations of maritime-related crimes ranging from migrant and drug smuggling, false distress calls, and violations of the environmental laws. Jurisdiction includes the Great Lakes region as well as all coastal waters surrounding all territories of the United States. The Coast Guard Investigative Service is a centralized directorship managed by a professional criminal investigator who reports directly to the Coast Guard's Assistant Commandant for Intelligence.
County Hunters Forum Closed, Allegedly Due to Malicious Harassment by Karol Madera
We are sad to report that the very popular County Hunters Forum has been closed. This, due to attacks by Karol Madera, VE7KFM, according to the forum Administrator. While the Forum has been closed due to malicious attacks, the very popular main page is still available.
Attention: Todd Daugherty, N9OGL, is looking for a date. If you're an Anime fan, into middle aged Pirates, or a man of means and an interest in short stories, please take a gander at Todd's new hook up page for this affectionate Wal-Mart cart pusher on the go!
Three Stooges Cry About Their Own Notoriety
Todd Daugherty, N9OGL, has joined fellow whiners Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ, and Karol Madera, VE7KFM, in a tearful pity-party, seeking sympathy regarding this website's accurate reportage of their bizarre/illegal antics. Daugherty is a Wal-Mart cart pusher who is banned from most respectable websites. He continues to post online while stealing his neighbor's WI-FI signal in order to defame others. This, despite being visited by the FBI for death threats and suspected possession of child pornography. Daugherty has twice been formally Warned by the FCC for illegal operations.
Mark Morgan was also cautioned by the FCC regarding character issues, such as libel associated with defaming other amateurs and making false accusations to regulatory agencies on behalf of Karol Madera. Morgan was recently ejected and nearly forcibly tossed out of the Copper Country Radio Amateur Association (CCRAA) club meeting for conduct unbecoming an officer of that club. Morgan was recently investigated by the Houghton County Sheriff's Department as a suspect in the case of a false SOS distress signal traced to Morgan's location. That investigation continues.
Madera is a well known chunder-head and notorious bloviator who was rejected for admission by the Law Society in British Columbia. Madera recently made threatening sexual oriented remarks about a 13 year old radio enthusiast. Madera, and his friends and acquaintances, like Morgan and Daugherty, are the main subjects of this investigative report. See the following for more information about the fact-deficient flamefest, hosted by the 3rd rate web page, described below.
An unintentionally humorous thread appeared online recently at an obscure forum for CB Radio operators. Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ, Karol Madera, VE7KFM, and Todd Daugherty, N9OGL, figure prominently. It began with the telling title: "VE7KFM, Victim or Psychopath?" Of course, our readers know the answer without debate, however, the members of this particular forum are not well informed, and the conversation rapidly devolved into the usual denials and circular exchange of meaningless verbiage normally accompanying any endeavor related to Karol Madera, Mark Morgan, and Todd Daugherty.
This CBer's thread is humorous for no fewer than 3 reasons. First, it features a typically hysterical and feminine sounding DEMAND LETTER by Karol Madera, insinuating criminality, conspiracy, and all manner of mindless mental masturbation. Second, Madera's misdirected missive appears alongside the dyslexic, nonsensical, and clanging "osbervashuns" of Madera's apparently brain-damaged sidekick, Mark Morgan.
The final bit of humor involves Madera accusing an aptly tagged Administrator ("QRN") of being Brian Crow, K3VR. The same administrator (Garth Faulkner, VE1IDX) then mistakenly identifies Crow as being the owner of this website (VE7KFM.COM). This is a widely held belief and a very common error, and we hasten to correct that misconception. This is not Brian Crow's website, no matter how many times Karol Madera & company claim otherwise. Instead, this website is wholly owned and operated by CMSPIRG, the Center for Media Studies Public Interest Research Group.
Although Brian Crow is an honored and welcome contributor (some of our best recordings were submitted by Crow) he is not the sole contributor, nor is he the owner of record with ICANN, nor is he in any way responsible for this popular publication, which is known colloquially, legally, and specifically, as VE7KFM.COM throughout the world. Crow has an interest in Karol Madera because Brian Crow and his family have been stalked and severely defamed by Karol Madera, ever since 2002 when Crow participated in FCC actions resulting in Madera's partner being fined $21,000 by the US government. Crow has also been instrumental in helping the US government bust several criminals associated with Karol Madera.
We're pleased to set the record straight on Crow's behalf, and pleased to counter several lies perpetrated by Karol Madera and his criminal friends. Brian Crow is a well known Psychotherapist and Educational Consultant who has practiced in the Pittsburgh area since 1991. As reported by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Crow has designed nationally recognized inpatient and outpatient programs for adults and adolescents with mental illness and/or problems with addiction, as well as performing professional evaluations for the courts, schools, business, and other law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice. Crow has also designed multi-cultural education programs for the President's Faith Based Drug Prevention Initiative, and the US Department of Health and Human Services, among others.
Madera and Crow, Like Night and Day
The contrasts between Crow and Madera are stark indeed. While Crow is a married father of two sons, who is gainfully employed, and a well respected member of his community, Karol Madera is regularly visited by his local constabulary. Crow spends his time helping others while Madera spends his days calling on al Qaeda to murder Americans. Furthermore, Madera lied about his rank to a superior officer in the Canadian Forces; he was rejected for admission by the British Columbia Law Society; he was ejected from the offices of the Real Estate Board of Victoria, Canada for making threats against members of the Board; and he is well known for threatening members of the US government and other US citizens. Madera spends much of time raving in paranoid fashion about Crow, but no one with any sense regards Madera's raving as anything more than than the detritus of an extremely unblanced mind.
We speculate that Madera has been been repeatedly frustrated by Crow's accurate portrayal of Madera's threats, which involve Madera's readily apparent psychopathy. Madera also seems envious of Crow's position as a respected figure in the community, whereas Madera is a known disgrace and laughingstock. As a result of Crow's documented support for law enforcement, he and his young family have been unfairly and maliciously stalked and targeted by Karol Madera.
Madera's Growing List of Victims, Some Mere Children
Brian Crow and Riley Hollingsworth are only two of Karol Madera's large and growing list of victims, which includes children as young as 12 years of age. In fact, Madera has lied about, attacked, and/or otherwise defamed or maligned the owners of the following call signs, to name just a few: N2RJ, W4NTI, K1KW, N1LAF, N1GJT, N1FM, NA4BH, K7FE, K8MHZ, AA7BQ, N8GAV, KC9NRN, AC4BB, KC9KOW, KC8VWM, KB3LIX, W4MAC, KC0REY, KI4LUB, KC2ESD, W6EM, KJ5T, K8MHZ, W4ASX, AB7GR, WB2WIK, KI4WAF, N9VO, K8XF, KV1M, KI4ENS, WG2Y, AJ4CU, KD0AFK, WI5O, N4ZKF, W5GNB, KC8VWM, K4ZDH, W2WTF, N3ATS, KU4MY, K1TP, AL2N, VE7NOT, VE7DCW, VE4CFR, VE1IDX, VA4KGB, VE9SY, VE6WTF, W7CPA, K3PZ, W4KVW, KE9RY, AD4C, WD4AWO, N8JOX, and others.
In the coming weeks, we will highlight the accomplishments of more of Madera's victims, like Duane Traver, WV2B, ARRL's Official Observer Coordinator for Western New York, and others. Fortunately, Madera and his small band of criminal cohorts have no credibility in the US or Canada, and their defamation falls on deaf ears, thanks in large part to our well informed readership.
This website is the leading repository for factual information about Karol Madera and his aberrant behavior, stalking, and gross defamation. This site is regularly read and quoted each month by over 10,000 persons in 37 different countries.
Incidentally, we received a postcard from Down East Maine, where K3VR and family are spending the month of August. Crow says the weather has been spectacular, and they are enjoying a wonderful holiday. For those of you who may be missing his informative postings on various radio and astronomy forums, he is expecting to travel south, sometime after Labor Day. He does not have an amateur radio or a computer with him, so you may also disregard Madera's frequent and nauseatingly piteous bleating that he is "being maliciously QRM'd by K3VR."
Madera Pens Another Silly Demand Letter
LETTER of DEMAND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a LETTER of DEMAND primarily to “QRN”, the starter of this thread, who I have every reason to believe is one Garth Wade Faulkner, VE1IDX. But, because QRN is also an “Administrator” of the Publisher, WorldWide Radio Forum herein and otherwise, this DEMAND is also addressed to the owner(s), manager(s), operator(s), ‘directing’ mind(s) and/or ISP of this website, jointly and severally.
I put ALL of you on Formal Legal NOTICE that this thread “VE7KFM: Victim or physcopath?” [sic] generally and the originating post herein by QRN in particular, is substantially FALSE, MISLEADING and DEFAMATORY directly and through innuendo, as are elements of his subsequent comments and those of some of the other posters following QRN’s opening/lead.
Also, and this goes to similar fact evidence/course of conduct, QRN has made similar DEFAMATORY statements about me on this WorldWide Radio Forum and elsewhere before…. Perversely, there is evidence to be found in some of his previous comments on this Forum and elsewhere, that QRN actually KNOWS that some of what he writes is FALSE and MISLEADING either directly but especially through innuendo…. Moreover, he was previously personally warned by me, in writing, not to engage in, republish and/or conspire with others in this DEFAMATORY conduct on the Internet and otherwise…. Yet, as this thread started by him evidences, he continues with this course of conduct, which suggests MALICE and a possible CONSPIRACY with others to DEFAME, with all that imports at law….
QRN makes statements of supposed fact in this thread that he KNOWS—or as a native-English-speaker and presumed "sane person" of middle-age and intellect OUGHT TO KNOW—are not only FALSE and MISLEADING, but patently PREPOSTEROUS and as such INDEFENSIBLE on their face/in the plain/standard English meaning of the words. For a partial example only, QRN’s comment: “Everything else he has said is a lie so why believe that.” both standing alone as well as in the context, is one such categorical and patently FALSE and UNPROVABLE statement….
Suffice it to say that the thread, from the title in the context, through the several FALSE, MISLEADING and DEFAMATORY posts by QRN, to the DEFAMATORY comments made by others following his opening/lead, is seriously legally, intellectually, morally and otherwise compromised and should be removed FORTHWITH….
Consequently, in order to put this matter to rest, I DEMAND that the Publisher:
(1) REMOVE this thread, in its entirety, FORTHWITH;
(2) publish an UNEQUIVOCAL APOLOGY [with ~equal prominence, on this website]; and,
(3) institute fool-proof [sic] procedures to ensure that similar DEFAMATION by QRN and/or others does not recur.
If you are unsure as to what passes for an unequivocal apology at law and/or the adequacy/prominence of its required publication in ~similar circumstances, see, for example:
http://member.small.ca/karolus/maderus/farce.htm
or, consult a solicitor knowledgeable in Defamation Law without delay.
Time is of the essence.
Govern yourselves accordingly.
Otherwise, have your solicitor contact me at email ve7kfm with your full name(s) and address(es) for legal service.

-------------------------------------
Well, we told you it was funny, and we assure you, Madera's DEMAND LETTER was wholly ignored and ridiculed, which is only proper under the circumstances. We assume Madera's payback is this gem which is apparently about the owner of the forum where Madera's demand letter appeared. It has all the ingredients of a Mark Morgan/Karol Madera production, although we haven't bothered to investigate fully at this time.
Other than these items, and the frequent identity theft and defamation perpetrated, by Madera's friends at various online forums, and Mark Morgan's recent run in with the Houghton County Sheriff regarding the transmission of false SOS distress signals (much like the case of his Canadian mentor's false maritime distress signals) nothing much has happened in the month of August. With September approaching fast and Vancouver's Hard Cider Season upon us, we are quite sure Karol Madera and company will come up with something outrageously original for publication on these pages.
Until next time,
Bon Soir and Bonne Chance from the Editors of VE7KFM.COM
Canadian Coast Guard Advises: Call Industry Canada and Saanich Police Department
The false international distress calls transmitted by Karol Madera, VE7KFM, have been monitored by US and Canadian Coast Guard officials. Dan Bate, Communications Officer, Canadian Coast Guard, Pacific, suggested that the Saanich PD and Industry Canada be contacted "We are aware that there are some existing concerns... pass your concerns along to Industry Canada or the Saanich Police Department." In the meantime, US Officials were more blunt. Lieutenant Commander, R. Johnson, JAGC, U.S. Navy said, "As far as we can determine, and this is from listening to him a few times, the man's psychotic. He threatens US Officials and calls on al Qaeda for air support. I'm afraid we're on the wrong side of the border to have any effect on his operation. Believe me, I'm sorry we can't be of more help with this."
Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ Added to Kookpedia
"An old friend; ham radio enthusiast; callsign: KB9RQZ. Regularly frogged and forged by various members of rec.radio.* (closeted until someone tried to blackmail him, whereupon he outed himself), dyslexic, and doesn't know Morse code (which enrages his fanbois). Winner of the Golden Killfile some two years ago, for spamming his attempts to mute their attacks. Note: His fanclub is now a subsidiary of the User:Pope Snarky Fan Club."
Amateurs take notice: To date, no U.S. or Canadian amateur radio station has ever been disciplined for ignoring and talking over Karol Madera, VE7KFM, while otherwise adhering to US and/or Canadian rules.
U.S. and Canadian officials have successfully ignored Karol Madera for years, and we are happy to report, it's official. Interference to Karol Madera is not a violation of FCC rules. We quote the FCC: Harmful interference [under 47CFR97.3(23)] is any communication that "seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radio communication service operating in accordance with the Radio Regulations."
When Karol Madera, VE7KFM calls on al Qaeda to murder Americans; when he slanders others; when he uses indecent, obscene, and profane speech; when he uses our spectrum to broadcast solicitations for homosexual intercourse; and, when he engages in activities designed to disrupt legitimate communications; his transmissions may be classified as "harmful interference" under the FCC's Part 97 rules.
FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth stated the following at the 2007 Dayton Hamvention: "There is a very poor operator in Canada. Canada considers him a fruitcake and they're not taking him seriously... It's an international problem and it's not our jurisdiction. We're talking to Canada, we're working with them, but they consider the fellow to be several french fries short of a Happy Meal and they're not going to put a lot of resources in it apparently. Use the big knob, go somewhere else... the world is ugly enough. We can't regulate stupid!"
Where Industry Canada is concerned, Jim Laursen in Victoria stated: "All of ham radio is superfluous...it is talk for the sake of talk. Although most would find comments attributed to Madera to be stupid, in poor taste and mean spirited...what is free speech? This or any of the frequencies do not belong to anyone, despite him thinking it is the Polish frequency... I have talked to other agencies and their feeling is that it is a case of name calling / CB antics and immaturity and not worthy of their time / further investigation."
The Center for Media Studies has always maintained that the best policy is not to engage Madera at all, however, another legitimate and perfectly legal alternative, is to ignore Karol Madera, VE7KFM and to simply talk over his transmissions. That's exactly what most US and Canadian stations have decided to do, whenever they hear Karol Madera engaging in the behavior(s) listed above. Apparently U.S. and Canadian officials have no problem with that longstanding practice. Jim Laursen can be reached for comment at (250)363-3800 and/or Laursen.Jim@ic.gc.ca while the FCC can be reached via the contact page at www.fcc.gov.
Mark Morgan, Outed and Ousted
Please take a moment to review the Minutes of the CCRAA club Meeting on August 5th, 2008, where Karol Madera's good friend, Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ was removed from his position as President of that amateur radio club. As previously reported, Mark Morgan became notorious for cooperating with Karol Madera in the filing of false complaints of child sex abuse against multiple amateurs last November. The CCRAA asked Mark Morgan if he would step down for the good of the club. After Morgan refused, he was overwhelming voted out 11-1 with one abstention. Morgan has claimed that Brian Crow, K3VR used his influence to effect Morgan's removal. Crow's response to our inquiry was, "no comment."
More Frauds Sponsored by Karol Madera, Stalking QRZ
Yet another fraud and callsign hijacker has been busted at qrz.com. Recently, KE5OBA, DL4IR, KB2SQP, and now VE2ZIB have been discovered to be the victims of identity thieves using qrz.com to further the fraudulent agenda of Karol Madera, VE7KFM.
Indeed, now only one legitimate callsign holder routinely parrots the lies and slander spewed by Madera, and that person is Ed 'Junior' Oswald, aka 'W3DUMB' writing from Granny's basement in Sunken Springs, PA. Madera is so desperate for support, he encourages frauds, identity thieves, and criminals to support him in his failed attempt to libel any and all who have reported his crimes to authorities in the US and Canada.
The website, qrz.com, which has already banned most of the criminals associated with Karol Madera, ve7kfm, is cooperating in cracking down on these identity thieves in support of Karol Madera by banishing them from posting whenever they appear.
Features:
Photos of Karol Madera's combined "Radio Canada Studio" and "Realty Research Group" located at 3040 Tillicum Road, in Saanich, BC can be found in our "photos section". The photography section is a permanent fixture at the top of this page. See the Archive section for previous News and Views.
Announcements:
Please see our new page, "Oddities" which will contain the strange, bizarre, often unbelievable antics of Madera and his offbeat followers. Another good name for this page might be "news of the weird" however, we are aware that when discussing Karol Madera and his misguided friends, this is a relative term. Be that as it may, from now on, you will be able to reach the Oddities section from the site index at the top of the page.
Other Opinions:
Karol Madera is a proven (and self-described) liar, as well as a well known bigot and racist who is closely associated with a criminal fringe element. Therefore, we believe posting a link to his defamatory page would represent a disservice to our readership. However, as a matter of fairness, opposing viewpoints can be found at The Voice of Amateur Radio, a blog hosted by Karol Madera's protege', Todd Daugherty. You may also wish to visit the blog of CCRAA President, Mark Morgan, KB9RQZ. Accounts of the Kosher Ham. Mark Morgan is Madera's self-described ally, who says he is kinky, bisexual, and into bondage, domination, and sado-masochism. Morgan recently made false reports of child abuse against several complainants in the case against Karol Madera. Reading the pages of Todd Daugherty and Mark Morgan should give readers unique insight into the mindset of those who tend to associate with Karol Madera.
Mission Statement:
Our goal is to educate the public about Karol Florian Madera and his misguided, often criminal, friends. Madera is a Canadian radio personality who is an abusive and threatening racist, bigot, misogynist, homophobe, and friend to al Qaeda. Madera routinely distributes hate propaganda via the Internet and his radio station, located in Saanich, British Columbia.
