Tom, No third party traffic on UK licences. You can communicate only with Amateurs Dave *From:* Tom M0LTE via 44net &lt;44net(a)mailman.ampr.org&gt; *Sent:* Wednesday, September 27, 2023 9:37 AM *To:* 44net(a)mailman.ampr.org *Subject:* [44net] Re: Clarification on Terms of Service Hi Dave I have no skin in the game, but I am curious- encryption aside (assume blocked for purposes of question, regardless of technical feasibility) can you share please on what basis you reach that conclusion? Purely on the ‘encryption for the purpose of obscuration’ limitation in the licence?

A few examples that I'm curious if they're permitted or not: - Hosting a radio club website that's accessible from the public internet, including from non radio amateurs. - Providing general outbound internet access for radio amateurs connecting via RF, whether its AX.25 or WiFi operating on the allocated amateur radio frequencies - Hosting not strictly amateur radio services such as an IRC server for discussing cars, but it's *only *reachable from other 44net addresses and RF users - Providing general outbound internet access to servers and services that might need to pull software updates from non-radio amateur servers. - Providing connectivity to a radio amateur related server such as a DMR Master, to other radio amateur related servers *outside* of 44net Any guidance would be appreciated.
