[HamGateNY] Packet Radio over HF...

[Andrew J. McLeod, KB2AJM (ex. KD2PLE)]

Jeff,

I apologize - it's hard to trim and quote properly from a mobile device and every group has its own etiquette to comply with, published or not...

I have also changed the title of this thread, as per your recommendation.

The question is relevant because we are talking about long distance packet radio on bands including lower HF (of which Winlink is a successful example of, to the point of a major Red Cross drill not a week or two ago because the Red Cross has switched almost exclusively to Winlink,) and in terms of 44net "backbone" radio nodes, we are talking about 24x7 connections that are unmanned and unattended at most times.

Both are packet radio techniques, both can operate at a broad range of frequencies, and both have sending and receiving RF stations that are unmanned most of the time...

So I am just trying to understand the difference if one (ex. 44net backbone links) are legal and the other is not, what is the difference?

Brian already gave an answer regarding the higher bands. I am simply trying to understand what is permitted lower, and if there is a difference, why?

Regards,
