You are not in possession of all the facts.
KC (Kim Claffy) is KC6KCC.
https://www.fccbulletin.com/callsign/?q=KC6KCC
The grant date was 2018-02-21.
So both of the above statements can be true at the same time since I have no idea when KC joined the ARDC board. When was that?
Also, reading: http://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/ARDC
"It solely manages and allocates Internet address space, subnets of network 44 (AMPRNet), to interested Amateur Radio operators."
Seems ARDC does more than this nowadays.
Not meaning to pour fuel on the fire...but KC was affiliated with (CFO) ARDC at least as far back as 2015. Do a search for Amateur Radio Digital Communications at https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/CBS/Detail Also of interest, ARDC was only incorporated (in CA) in 2011, "anonymously" since the Articles of Incorporation filed with the state in 2011 are signed with no printed name, using an illegible signature. How does an organization incorporated years after 44/8 was set aside for amatuer radio use end up "owning" it enough to have the right to sell a portion of it? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route | therefore you are _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
