Help - I busted into the Class B SEATAC airspace last night, does anyone have any advice ?

A friend of mine received a notice of violation from the FCC when he
was caught making a call from his boat, putting the boat name first or
maybe second; in any event, in the wrong order.

He kept trying to explain that this was no big deal, but the notices
kept coming. Finally he wrote a formal letter, with numbered
paragraphs etc., to the effect that the master of subject vessel has
caused a placard to be placed over the communicatins equipment etc, in
addition to which the crew has been instructed in proper
communications procedure etc. After that, he never heard from the FCC
again.

Whats t he procedure and what are the penalties. It was a first time
offense. Here is what I wrote in the NASA Aviation Safety Reporting Form :

It sounds like you took the proper steps afterward. According to the ASRS
immunity policy, you are protected from any FAA penalty (assuming that you
have not been found to commit any other violation within the past five
years, and that you mailed in your ASRS report within ten days of the
event). http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/immunity_nf.htm
