[HamGateNY] Welcome to HamGateNY

[Kutche, Jerome M (Mitchell) USA]

All these questions have been dealt with in the past, over many instances and decades... I have been called out to work.. Many things went south. You may have to do a Search on ARRL or QRZ Forums..
I would take the time. But right now looks like I have zero time…
If I get time at break I’ll look some of them up and send some links..

Brian,
First, yes I know MARS operates outside the strict boundaries of Part 97 that the we are held to. I was simply using my experience as reference or as an example of ALE (more so I should say of automatically varying frequency based on usability, not necessarily beaconing,) and with regards to an always-ready, automated (though mostly query-based) system.
Second, thank you for the link to that article. With the exception of one or two minor points on Pactor 3 and how RMS stations currently operate (if they are following Winlink rules) that I slightly disagree with, it explains a lot.
So my question still is (and it is legitimately a question - not a rhetort) - assuming we keep the bandwidth lower and within bandplan limits, how is an always-on, unmonitored 44net RF backbone link different on both TECHNICAL and LEGAL levels from what I just read? It is also unmonitored, is more likely to broadcast without a remotely manned station sending an RF query to it than a request/query-only based system, and it by the same definitions as the article could also be considered an "internet service providing" service via Amateur radio?
I am arguing any points. I am legitimately curious as to your and others interpretations on this matter?
Thank you.
Regards,

This pdf has a decent summary of how they are doing it with WinLink. Keep in mind that MARS is not under the same rules as Part 97 amateur radio rules.
