Peter, AG4RC,

Your beloved Florida Winlink PMBO, Bud, N0IA, is also actively promoting the
violation of 97.113 by Winlink users.

Here are links, taken off the Winlink website, but subsequently removed, to
images promoted in Winlink presentations by N0IA:

Note the suggestion to use the BBS protocol (F6FBB) in order to "make them
secure from casual monitoring".

The FCC regulations expressly prohibit using codes or ciphers to obscure the
meaning of the message:

Hi, Dave-

>From  "Your beloved Florida Winlink PMBO, Bud, N0IA"

Yes, that is humorous - I've gained some level of national notoriety due to
Skip Teller and now with FADCA due to your notes.

Skip and I went around on these issues almost a year ago and I never hard 
back from him after the third or fourth iteration.

Oh yeah... and I stand behind my comment one hundred percent.... can Skip,
you, or the other distracters stand behind Skip's BS you so quickly mimic?

BF2 compression is totally open to the public - Skip knows that and as an
FBB BBS sysop so do you.

Anyone, including ( al queda!) can get the algorithms and program a decoding
scheme.   That is required by the FCC - but who cares?

????????? Casual ?????????

What part of 'casual' monitoring do you and the other distractions and
naysayers not understand?

FYI - From Merriam/Webster

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/thesaurus?book=Thesaurus&va=casual&x=0&y=0

      Entry Word: casual
      Function: adjective
      Text: 1 not designed for special occasions <a restaurant where people
in casual clothes are always welcome>
      Synonyms everyday, informal, workaday
      Related Words sporty; shabby, sloppy, slovenly, unkempt
      Near Antonyms best, Sunday; chic, elegant, fashionable, smart,
stylish; neat, tidy, trim; semiformal
      Antonyms dressy, formal
      2 happening by chance <a casual meeting with the next-door neighbors
on a beach in Hawaii> -- see ACCIDENTAL
      3 having or showing a lack of interest or concern <only a casual
examination of the bicycle before buying it> -- see INDIFFERENT 1
      4 lacking in steadiness or regularity of occurrence <a casual
attendance at their son's hockey games> -- see FITFUL

      So far as I can tell the media or al queda would have to go to a major
effort to monitor these WL2K BF2 compressed transmissions.  If terrorists
have nothing better to do than decode ham radio transmissions - the country
doesn't have a whole lot to fear and we should continue working to let them
know Hams are the enemy - that will keep them on their toes!

Common, Dave- get with the program.. this is the future of Ham Radio- at
least on HF. Do we want to keep 500Khz bandwidth as the best we can do for
another ten years?  TNC2 clone firmware is early 1980s technology at best..
ten years from now it will be almost forty years out of date... That is more
than three decades w/o any changes other than to support APRS digipeating!
