Please, Steve, tell me this is a joke? If I spent 2 hours *every* night, 24/7, using a phone patch into San Diego to talk to my sister you wouldn't see anything wrong with that? How about if I spent *all day* doing it - tying up 14275khz during the entire propagation period? Would that be an acceptable scenario for you? How about if AOL starts recruiting amateur stations to provide access links into their email system? Would that be ok with you? Not paying the amateurs, mind you - just recruiting them to offer branded access into AOL's email system. Would that be an acceptable scenario for you? It isn't any different than what your system is doing. tim ab0wr Need a Digital mode QSO?
