Yes, true. CB0AFU has nothing to do with radio at all. It is just
something on the Internet. Sorry for the "pirate".
Whether you want to allow a legal CB station to
connect to the ham
packet network is another issue
For me it is an issue. As of now I consider the Packet Radio network as
a closed amateur radio network and I don't have any legal issues passing
traffic e.g. on 23-cm packet radio links.
but I don't see it as any more of a problem than
allowing any
Internet email user to send messages into the network
And even this is not commonly agreed to be no problem...
or allow any Internet user to access resources on the
44 net.
We don't allow any Internet user to key up any radio by sending packets
to the German allocations of net44.
