New subject: Club Callsign Verification

Ok, makes sense. It sounds like there is a ham responsible for maintaining
the node. Why couldn't you use that ham's callsign for DNS services?

  Ibm isn’t the user/maintainer they just host the site.
They don’t have
 access to or are allowed to use the network in any way. They just host the
 pop in my example.

 So just providing roof access and power.

 I understand it's not a repeater, that's just the best analogy I have. We
 have a similar system here, but it's not as well-known or widespread as
 hamnet.

 Usually, any DNS name that resolves to an IP is equivalent. Can you
 elaborate on why you couldn't use a subdomain on a callsign?

 Furthermore, could you address the questions regarding non-ham (IBM) use
 of this system?

  Hamnet pop isn’t a radio repeater. It’s a pop for
hamnet. We call the 44
 net hamnet here and it runs on wireless links.

 It’s a complete wireless mesh network with many p2p links providing
 network connectivity to other hams/repeaters etc.

 So just adding a subdomain before a callsign isn’t going to cut the needs.

 Chris: Sounds good, thank you.

 Terence,

 I am not the most familiar with hamnet, although at some point, there has
 to be a ham involved, right? The way repeaters typically work here is that
 a ham or group of hams speaks to a building owner and asks for an agreement
 to host a repeater and a little bit of rooftop space. That repeater is then
 usually referred to by the callsign of the ham(s) who maintain it and have
 the agreement with the building owner.

 Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but does hamnet usually work in a
 similar way? If so, couldn't the site be named pi90ibm.pd3t.ampr.org,
 assuming you are the maintainer of that site?

 If there isn't a ham involved at any step:
 - How is it legal use of the amateur bands?
 - Is it really a ham radio network at that point?
