I guess it comes down to interpretation as to whether an internet link meets the above criteria adequately. Literally, an internet link doesn't. But at least some would argue that the security of password protection, encryption, etc., is at least as secure as a telephone line with unlisted number. --- Be that as it may, I find some aspects of that kind of remote control to be unsettling. Will we reach a point where few hams actually have stations in their homes, and instead simply access a remote station? Will anti-antenna folks use remote access/control as an excuse, or even a legal argument? What if someone builds a superstation, and then *sells* remote access time to it? Would that be legal - or in the best interest of the ARS? Maybe the most important question isn't whether something is legal, but whether it's a good idea. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
