And one of the principal people in the network telescope project was KC, who also weaseled herself onto the ARDC board without even holding an amateur radio license. Conflict of interest here, holy carp.
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. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
