[HamGateNY] 44Net Survey

[Charles J. Hargrove]

The quickest and most descriptive answer is the 44Net is a ham-only
private network sandbox to play in for all the same things that you
can do on the internet (Part97 rules still apply) and you will feel 
confident that anyone connecting to you from a 44Net address is going
to be a ham as well.
