Not strictly true… in a bona-fide emergency or when controlling a remote automatic station, the ACMA rules permit it. (ACMA LCD section 8 3A; pages 9 and 10 of http://www.wia.org.au/licenses/assessor/documentation/documents/Radiocommunications_Licence%20Conditions_Amateur_Licence_Determination_2015.pdf) SSH over AX.25 to your digipeater up on a mountain top somewhere would be perfectly fine, as would a station being operated during a bushfire event using OpenPGP to encrypt peoples' personal data before "emailing" it via a digital radio network to some other party that might then relay it onto some emergency response group. It's in casual conversation, or those operating in countries that explicitly forbid it (e.g. USA) where it's strictly forbidden. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freetel-codec2 mailing list Freetel-codec2@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freetel-codec2
