(Discussion moved to DX Chat from DX News) First, as noted in the reply over on DX News (if anyone missed it over there), the link I have is:
http://www.thedesertsun.com/news/stories/local/1027736792.shtml and it works. Can a felon hold a license? I don't have my copy of the FCC rules in front of me (they're down in the shack) but: considering that his felony did not in any way involve Amateur Radio or other forms of communications, I suspect he probably can. Now that is not to say that the Commission might consider invoking the "KV4FZ" rule to determine whether or not he's fit to hold a ticket, but that's another story. Personally, I hope they don't. The man has paid his dues and then some. Leave him be. I don't believe that Dr. Miller would be able to retrieve his old call under Vanity. Didn't I read somewhere where someone formed a "club" in his "honor" and got W9WNV as the club call? In any event, he was once a legend amongst DX'ers and he once set THE standard for small (one or two man) DXpeditions. Here's hoping that he comes back to Amateur Radio and DX'ing in a positive way. 73, ron wn3vaw "And they give you cash, which is just as good as money!"

We'll have to ask lawyers (what does WA2MOE say?) about whether he is eligible to apply for a license. I think he's now considered a felon but I am not a lawyer and I don't know if convicted felons can get licensed. Anyhow, hope I can type the location of the story without an error. Here goes: http.//www.the desertsun.com/news/stories/local/1027736972.shtml Hope this works OK. 73, Joe, W1JR At 11:17 AM 9/25/2002 -0700, Sandy Lynch wrote: >Apologies if this was brought up earlier .. but I've only been re-subscribed >to this reflector for a couple of weeks or so. > >While perusing the JA Top Gun Club website, I stumbled across a memo by >JA1AEA that Don Miller was released from prison probably 06-18-02.
