Why?

What matters is what the regulations were back then, not
what they are now.

The regulations do not require that someone give the FCC
their "residence". All the FCC requires is a valid mailing
address.


Just any valid mailing address?


That question has already been answered. See (1) below

In the case of certain callsigns, the mailing address
must be in certain locations, such as Hawaii, but there is
no residence requirement.


Just any valid mailing address?


That question has already been answered. See (1) below

FCC used to care about where a licensee lived, and the
actual station location. But all that changed many years
ago, and all they have required for may years is a valid
mailing address where the licensee may receive mail
from FCC.


(1) a valid mailing address where the licensee may
receive mail from FCC.

What do the Postal Regulations say about it?


I don't know what they said about it in 2000. That's
what matters.

There are a number of retired "RV" people nowadays who
don't really have a "residence" in the classic sense. They
live in their RVs, travelling the country as they see fit, and
living wherever their travel leads them. At least some of them
are radio amateurs.

Of course they have a "mailing address", which is often just
a post office box. Someone checks their mail regularly, and
deals with important items as needed. FCC and the post office
have no problem with this, and no fraud is involved.

In some rural areas, people maintain post office boxes
"in town" and pick up their mail there when they get to town.
FCC and the post office have no problem with this, and no
fraud is involved.

How are these cases any different from the use of a Hawaiian
post office box?

After all, the FCC did accept and process the vanity call
applications, and did issue the callsigns. Perhaps it was
simply a misunderstanding of the intent of the rules,
rather than the letter of the law.


The government can be defrauded as well as anyone,


That's true.

and there was no misunderstanding.


How do you know?

Obviously the vanity callsign applications met the
letter of the law - otherwise FCC would not have
processed them nor issued the callsigns. Whether
the met the *intent* of the law is another issue, and
intent is a matter of interpretation.

*It was poor amateur practice.


Why?

Were the callsigns that were cancelled ones that other
amateurs wanted, but could not get?

Have any of the cancelled callsigns been reissued
through the vanity callsign program?

FCC has issued some vanity callsigns that some consider
inappropriate for the amateur radio service. Those
callsigns
would not normally be issued in sequence, so the FCC is
aware of the controversy, yet they issued those callsigns
when requested through the vanity program.


We're not talking about Kim, we're talking about
Michael P. Deignan of the RF Commandos.


The subject is the letter of the law regarding vanity callsigns
versus the intent of that law. There's also the question of
good vs. poor amateur practice.

Kim is not the only amateur, nor the first, to have a callsign
that some consider inappropriate. Indeed, she was not the
first to have a callsign with a certain particular suffix.

MD is not the only amateur
to be trustee of multiple club callsigns.

There was lengthy discussion here about the appropriateness
of certain Amateur Radio vanity callsigns. The defense was
that if the FCC issued the callsigns, they were appropriate.
Although I was initially unconvinced, I changed my mind.

Is that not correct?

Besides - all that stuff about the club calls is more than six
years old. Why are you living in the past?


In ham years that was barely yesterday.


If it is OK to discuss those old callsign events, then it's
also OK to discuss other old events, such as boasts of
getting an Extra out of the box, or of opposing real estate
zoning changes. Etc.

Is it because the
person who held all those calls was and is an advocate of
complete Morse Code test elimination?


It's because the individual incessantly tells others how to
live their ham-lives,


Where?

The person involved hadn't posted here for *years*. His
posts are rather few in number, and quite short and
to-the-point.

Other individuals who post here, including one who isn't even
a radio amateur, incessantly tell others how to live their
ham-lives. Is that wrong?

then defrauds his friend and the FCC.


How was anyone defrauded?

Was there some sort of penalty, such as a forfeiture of money
or an operator license suspension/revocation?

What brought the whole issue to FCC's attention, anyway?
Did someone want one of those callsigns?

Jim, N2EY

Exactly.

I've had a PO Box for years. Having a rural mainland address, there are
times when my mail will collect for weeks at a time when I'm not home
(having that ocean-going trawler based in WA takes a lot of my time...) I
also don't like having clients mail me checks to my mainland home, so I use
a PO Box.

From time to time, folks I work on projects with also receive mail at my PO
box. Case in point: About a year ago I was working on a project with "Mark".
We needed a piece of software to complete the job, so "Mark" ordered the
software for us on my company credit card. Rather than it coming addressed
to "My Company, My PO Box" (the correct ship-to address which is also my CC
billing address) it was shipped to "Mark, My PO Box".

The USPS delivered it just fine. Now, from time to time, "Mark" gets mail at
my PO Box. Apparently the company sold his name on a mailing list. Still
haven't heard a peep from the Postmaster. I suspect "Mark" could also
receive non-junk-mail at my PO box just fine. I suspect the Postmaster
doesn't care. After all, if anything "bad" was ever associated with my PO
Box, the Postmaster knows where to find me.


How are these cases any different from the use of a
Hawaiian post office box?


Brian doesn't have one?


MD is not the only amateur to be trustee of multiple club
callsigns.


Only 1 club callsign at the moment, which is used exclusively on our beacons
used for DF foxhunts.


What brought the whole issue to FCC's attention, anyway?


Riley's first letter to me references coorespondence from Jeff. Since there
is no official coorespondence in the record to suggest otherwise, it is my
personal opinion that Jeff did.

You must have seen the awesome "Who's Morky?" remark.


Jim stood toe to toe with the Robesinner and didn't blink (Tom Petty
playing "Won't Back Down" in the background).


Thanks for the memory jog. I always liked that song. Guess I'll have to

fire
up Limewire and see if I can d-load it.
Yup, Markie, before you jump, I am willfully violating copyright laws by
downloading old songs such as this.


Old? It doesn't seem old to me. How many ham-years ago did Tom
release it?

Like you, who conveniently blames
everybody else, I'll blame HH&C for putting me in mind of this great old
song. He made me do it.


Flip Wilson, "The Devil Made Me Do It!"

Thanks, HH&C. Have you any more songs to suggest?-


Anything by David Hasselhoff.


OK. Hasselhoff it is. Hop In My Car will be first up.

Maybe later I can get some Boy George for Mark.

Why?

What matters is what the regulations were back then, not

Back in 1990/91, the PO Boxes on Guam were for the person listed on
the card for that box, not for friends, neighbors, and people who wish
to defraud the US Governemnt. When you sign for the box, you sign an
AGREEMENT. Hopefully, you read the agreement. Apparently Hermann did
not. Hermann got a KH2 call because he was "interested" in a job on
Guam. He had never been there.
The regulations do not require that someone give the FCC
their "residence". All the FCC requires is a valid mailing
address.


Just any valid mailing address?


That question has already been answered. See (1) below


The mailing address where the FCC can reach you. In this case, the
FCC could reach Jeffrey Hermann at the listed address, not Michael
Deignan.

In the case of certain callsigns, the mailing address

no residence requirement.

Newsflash... That has nothing to do with Deignan's intent to defraud
the FCC.

How are these cases any different from the use of a Hawaiian
post office box?


The intent was fraud, a KH6 callsign.

After all, the FCC did accept and process the vanity call
applications, and did issue the callsigns. Perhaps it was
simply a misunderstanding of the intent of the rules,
rather than the letter of the law.

Has the government never received a bad check? A fraudulent tax

Poor amateur practice.

?It was poor amateur practice.


Why?

Were the callsigns that were cancelled ones that other

Have any of the cancelled callsigns been reissued

It's like having to use the least amount of power to accomplish the
communication. One amateur callsign can't be used to accomplish the
desired communication? Well, Riley saw a problem with it.

FCC has issued some vanity callsigns that some consider
inappropriate for the amateur radio service. Those
callsigns
would not normally be issued in sequence, so the FCC is

My tax dollars went in to the enforcement actions against Michael P.

That's certainly a legitimate use for a PO Box, but it is not
Hermann's PO Box, and that is the box in question. BTW, there was a
12th callsign at your street address issued to a YL. Don't you trust
her to keep your mail from stacking up or blowing away?

From time to time, folks I work on projects with also receive mail at my PO

Again, "Mark" and your PO Box are not the subject of this discussion.

Sweetums, you are indeed NAIVE. "Misunderstanding

Deignan saw what others were already doing and wanted
a piece of the action, plus getting a spiffy Hawaiian call
in the same process. He took advantage that few would

Total bull****, ancient guru. Deignan was always out for Deignan.


That's a fact, Jack!


He's an O. J. Snipeson showing "the glove don't fit."


Yeah, he passed an extra test at one time in the past. He got
an extra call. But...the ex-captain of the "Effluvia" WANTED
MORE. So, with the aid of a buddie in Hawaii, he conspires to
get a spiffy HAWAIIAN call (the "KH6" prefix) that would NOT
be issued to a (then) Rhode Island resident. Not only that, he
dreamed up a dozen FAKE "clubs" and got callsigns for them,
too.


But he's an Extra. RHIP.


Of course...they "deserve" to do anything they want...


Why don't you go back to your private little corner of OLDE TYMES
and memorize all the OLD rules so you can play the ancient guru
"authority" on times long gone? Or go get laid. [have you lost
your virginity yet?]


Yikes! Jim's sexuality or lack thereof has no place in RRAP.


Okay, so he's got a lot of "lack thereof." His problem.
But, the problem manifests itself with his actions in
here...


Better yet, why don't you arrange a 'sked' with K4YZ on "CW."
Then you can slap him directly over your very own raddio instead
of pretending to be a tuff guy in here?


You must have seen the awesome "Who's Morky?" remark.

Jim stood toe to toe with the Robesinner and didn't blink (Tom Petty

Sure...sure...meanwhile I'll get Kyle Petty to zoom it up

For the entire time I lived overseas, my U.S. mailing address, as far as
the FCC was concerned was that of WA8JOC in Cincinnati. I did not
physically reside there. I was not an employee of WA8JOC. I am not
related to WA8JOC. Despite these things, my providing the FCC that
address did not constitute fraud and it broke no laws. It didn't
attempt to circumvent any laws.

WA8JOC's address is still the FCC address of record for a number of
Finnish radio amateurs who took and passed U.S. licensing exams.
My own address is the FCC address of record for one Finnish radio
amateur who took such an exam. The FCC says that applicants must have a
U.S. address, not that the applicant must reside at that address.
The applicant must either a U.S. Social Security number *or* a Taxpayer
Identification Number. Those Finnish hams were able to obtain a TIN
without ever having had a SSN. This was done after the FCC was
contacted directly about the situation and asked what should be done.

For all other mailing purposes in the U.S., my parents addresses in
Kentucky and in Georgia were used as my address of record in the United
States. I had not resided with them for decades. I broke no laws nor
did I commit fraud.

In 1993, I provided the Department of State a legal residence address
which is the same as the address I now have. No mail was being sent
here and there was not even a rural mailbox standing at this location.
I didn't live here until 2000.

You may now chew on these statements and attempt to reconcile them.

numbers there more frequently than twice-per-

As for me, it appears that there was a
misunderstanding about the intent of the
Part 97 rules concerning vanity calls for
clubs - particularly in what a group must do
to meet FCC's defintion of a "club" and qualify
for a club callsign.

*All "very legal." *barf


Who was harmed by the assignment of those
vanity callsigns?

It is clear that some callsigns, such as four-character
ones, are considered more desirable by many
amateurs. Were any of the disputed callsigns part
of a desirable group?

Were other amateurs wanting the callsigns,
but unable to get them because of the
"clubs" having them?

Have any of those callsigns been reassigned under
the vanity program?

It is interesting that you identify the trustee of those
callsigns as a "code tested extra", but not as
a no-code-test advocate.

UNQUOTE

I, particularly, would find it very interesting to see these numbers more
frequently for about the first two months or so.

The first possible test sessions under the new rules will be February 23rd.
That first rush of upgrades will probably show up in the FCC database within
a week and the balance of those in less than two weeks. I would expect the
big rush of upgrades to pretty much be done in two to three months. I
wonder how many will stop at General and how many will go on to Extra.

My team is conducting a test session on February 23rd here in our area. So
far, while the pre-registrations are up slightly, there's been no massive
rush (so far).

Please post the "ARS License Numbers" as of the 22nd for the baseline for
the pool.

The applicant must either a U.S. Social Security number *or* a Taxpayer
Identification Number. Those Finnish hams were able to obtain a TIN
without ever having had a SSN. This was done after the FCC was
contacted directly about the situation and asked what should be done.

For all other mailing purposes in the U.S., my parents addresses in
Kentucky and in Georgia were used as my address of record in the United
States. I had not resided with them for decades. I broke no laws nor
did I commit fraud.

In 1993, I provided the Department of State a legal residence address
which is the same as the address I now have. No mail was being sent
here and there was not even a rural mailbox standing at this location.
I didn't live here until 2000.

You may now chew on these statements and attempt to reconcile them.

You must have missed the part where this is about the use of Jeffrey
Hermann's PO Box on Hawaii.
