Can a single owner non proffit put up a LPFM and run it like a "real" station? IE charge for spots, etc. As long as it was a "community" project?

Re: LPFM Question
LPFM licenses are, by definition, non-commercial. Within that bound, the owner can run the station however they wish.
Acquiring a license would be difficult. I believe it's still illegal to transfer an LPFM license, so you'd have to wait on the next LPFM filing window. (Sometime after hell freezes over, most likely.)

Re: LPFM Question
They can be transferred, but the transferee must meet the requirements for an LPFM licensee.
