FCC gathers evidence on Canadian conviction

The FCC is asking an un-named United States radio ham if he is the same person as a radio ham in Canada - one who was convicted of a Felony in times past.

In its letter, the FCC asks the radio amateur to provide additional information on any such convictions for consideration by the Commission.

The FCC says that such a criminal conviction may reflect adversely on the persons qualifications to hold an Amateur Radio license and an administrative hearing may be designated to take evidence on that issue.

But the U-S radio regulatory agency also gives the ham another option. That of permitting him to voluntarily submit his amateur radio license for cancellation in order to avoid any hearing on the issue.
