Re: [44net] Use of higher bands

I can only subscribe to Michaels statements. Let's be realistic: our current infrastructure is obsolete at best and we make insufficient use of what we have because of high speed internet. Let's not oppose the internet. Let's use it. And I reiterate the idea: A cloud setup on ampr addresses for ampr users only. Connection modes and means are irelevant. Tunnels, ax25 links, whatever you want... But this can work on existent infrastructure, use the internet fully (by encapsulation), be limited to hams only (e.g. by means of src address filtering) and raise no issuses about cryptology and other stuff. And it would be an encentive for other hams to join the ampr network (over internet if they like...). -----Original Message----- From: 44net-bounces+marius=yo2loj.ro(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu [mailto:44net-bounces+marius=yo2loj.ro@hamradio.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of Michael E.

But I haven't seen one yet. Michael N6MEF _________________________________________
