The key here is access to "Amateur Radio Frequencies", e.g. getting on the air / RF.

Well, you cannot possibly open the door to the Internet, then close it again, or have half of it open and the other half closed, then change it again tomorrow, or change it when someone gets upset - all you are going to have is a 44net dominated by strong negative feelings and a whole lot of arguing - probably exactly what you have already.

The decision has been made already to continue with an amateur PUBLIC 44net. If Members want to firewall off all incoming !44/8, then that is their choice, and they should do that, and no one should comment on their choice, and should certainly not be disparaging about it. Same rule applies to all others doing as they choose as well.

Let's fix this wiki and get the documentation sorted.
