Bill,
I believe the actual citation is 47 <http://www.dinf.ne.jp/doc/english/Us_Eu/ada_e/telcom_act/47/308.htm> U.S.C. § 308(b). The key words in this is where it reads (emphasis added): All applications for station licenses, or modifications or renewals thereof, shall set forth such facts as the Commission by regulation may prescribe as to the citizenship, character, and financial, technical, and other qualifications of the applicant to operate the station; Here is what the League has on the FCCs Character Reference: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2006/12/06/101/?nc=1 Mark N9WYS From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of Bill Hudson Paul Plack - Please site the law that forbids felons from having ham radio licenses. You act like you speak with authority - I'd like you to demonstrate it for me please. Bill - W6CBS _____ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of Paul Plack If they're registered, that means they were convicted at one time, and probably have some condition of a parole or early release which prohibits contact with youth. I would ask the local police to see if that is the case. If it is, simply record the contacts, and ham radio will be the least of their concerns. If they were convicted of felonies, it's possible the FCC doesn't know, and would revoke their licenses if notified. 73, Paul, AE4KR
