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?
