I guess you must define unreliable. I get bunches of E-Mail (including SPAM) all at one time...some dated 2-3 days earlier.
I have a friend who lives 142 miles (as the crow flies) southeast of me. He can send me an E-Mail at say 10:00 local asking me to get on 40M for a QSO at 15:00. Sometimes I don't get the E-Mail until well after the Skd time...and sometimes not at all because his E-Mail service bounces his E-Mail back because it says it won't send E-Mail to my E-Mail server. I call this unreliable. Also, when a hurricane storms ashore at his QTH, he may not have E-Mail or Internet connectivity for 2-3 weeks. I call that unreliable. However, we can QSO on 75/40M from dawn to dusk and into the night. I call that reliable.

Unimportant, or unwanted email will be very reliably delivered, while important and very much wanted email will not be reliably delivered.... -----Original Message----- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 3:46 PM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Re: The Internet is Unreliable for Amateur RadioService Emergency Communications > > I agree that the intenet can very unreliable.
