[BC] LMAs - How Far Can They Go?

[Neal Newman]

 Hello Larry  No I am not a member  YET..
 I have the application to join. personally I think something thats done 
over 30 years ago
  should have nothing to do with my membership. and feel the question 
helps them Become discrimintory,and not allow you to Become a member. 
the question should not be allowed on their application.  if the 
question is there it should have a date limit like the  FCC LPFM 
application.which has a Date limit  see question#8  below
as an application for a Federal license. I can understand it.
For a private organizaion I think its none of their Business..
I guess my reply to them would be an Old IBEW trick.. answeer the 
question with another question.
 The question would be. have you Ever spoken On a hand held cell phone 
while driving a vehicle. and how often do you do 30mph in a 25 mph zone..
 Everyone is guilty in either of thoses...
In My case.. I was involved in the school radio station and used to Tape 
my shows..
One of my so called Neighborhood friends from a few blocks away whom I 
used to hang out with. grabbed some of Tapes.and decided to use his 
dads  ham transmitter to play them.
 He got a visit... His father said  I know that voice. then came to me.. 
apparently taped our conversation  and ran a voiceprint...
I did a stupid thing   I taped My shows..  NEVER again...

I had nothing to do with what he was doing  yet. I was find because my 
Voice was on his pirate station.  something to think about 
guys....anyone can tape a radio show  play it on a pirate station
 you are Legally liable to be Fined If they match your voice..
I consider myself lucky with Only a $250 fine.. But try to explain that 
on an application..
OMG   did I really violate the communications act of 1934????
I dont think so.
