44.128/10,
however you connect to it, is the radio amateur band,
44.0/10 is the commercial 5G band or the ISM band of WiFi.
Thats unbelivable, I
can but hope that something is lost in translation. The proposal is nothing short of ripping out 44.0/10
from the diverse
cloud of radio amateurs that AMPRnet stands for, and making it part of
the regular internet, available to anyone without a license
...having something (44/10) routed via BGP on the internet is "making
it _available_ to anyone without a licence". That does not mean that
the Ham operator is going to reply to anyone.
and removing traffic exchange with the remainder
(44.128)
A Ham "on" 44.128/10 would have an IP on 44.128/10, they would be
wanting to "route to" 44.128/10, but would already *be on it*.
This is like having to tune radios to 144.1234 Mhz to hear each other,
and be using the same transmission/reception mode.
I call on the ARDC board to disapprove this plan.
That seems quite an absolute position. :(
Are there any public TAC meeting minutes or the like
by chance ?
I'm personally hopefully that ARDC will still take the opportunity to
transition to something more open---with board minutes (and TAC
minutes) plus regulary filed financials.
ARDC is not quite there yet; but there is still time.
Hopefully a desire for openness is something we can agree on?

Secondly, why would I not be allowed to listen to that
amateur radio
repeater using my commercial all-band radio receiver?
...You can, just sign up for a CAIDA research account and drink from
the firehose that is the UCSD Network Telescope 44/8 incoming feed.
