Yup. Exactly.

My neighbor has a valid mailing address. It is not where I receive my
mail. Neither is a PO Box 7,000 miles away.

Should my neighbor come to me with a letter for you from Riley, I'll
be sure to let you know.

Besides - all that stuff about the club calls is more than six
years old. Why are you living in the past? Is it because the
person who held all those calls was and is an advocate of
complete Morse Code test elimination?

Comeon, Jim... You don't wanna spoil their fun crying "FRAUD!" and all sorts
of other chicken-little claims, do you?

What? "Once a fraud, always a fraud" doesn't apply?

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.

So, you NOW work for the US government in the FCC?

Riiiiiiight..."may receive mail from FCC." Four, maybe six
days to get to Hawaii, several days before Herman would
pick it up and forward it to Deignan's real postal address,
then four to six days to get back to DC with a needed
reply. At least two weeks elapsed time. Real "quick"
and "fast-moving" communications, right?

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.

Sweetums, you are indeed NAIVE. "Misunderstanding
the intent of the rules" is total bull**** on your part.
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
notice it in Gettysburg (they didn't) and bingo, there was

Jim will wail and cry about Haliburton giving a service in the most
dangerous part of the world and expecting to be paid a high price for

Jim has never been to the AH0A site. Hi!

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.

Go and admonish some yokel who thinks you are some

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

That's a fact, Jack!

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.

Why don't you go back to your private little corner of OLDE TYMES

The government can be defrauded as well as anyone, and there was no

It's because the individual incessantly tells others how to live their

Neither the FCC nor my friend were defrauded, despite your repeated

Nor were the callsigns "fraudulent". The cancelled callsigns were 100% valid
callsigns issued by the FCC. A callsign issued by the FCC cannot be
fraudulent by its very definition.


What? You just had "verbal" meeting minutes? You didn't get them in

Where in 97.5(b)(2) does it state meeting minutes are a requirement?


There were no clubs, there were no members, and there were no
documents of organization.

Define a "document of organization". Charter issed by the State? IRS
recognition as a non-profit organization? A 1-sheet piece of paper that says
"We're a club, this is what we do, and the club license trustee is manager
ad infinitum"?

Guess what? That 97.5(b)(2) doesn't define what a 'document of organization'
is, so a 1-page or 1-paragraph description suffices.


There were no meetings, and there were no minutes recorded.

There is no definition in 97.5(b)(2) as to how often a club has to have
meetings, how long those meetings have to be, how the meetings have to be
publicized, or that the 'minutes' of any meetings held be maintained.

A group of 5 hams getting together informally several times a year, chatting
over coffee, and participating in a DF "foxhunt", fully meets the
