definitely

Even compression is frowned upon

They want you to transmit in plain text mostly

And these operators *love it!*

whats the open frontier then?

what about mesh networking

It doesn't exist

FCC has their dicks up everyone's asses

Hell, it's illegal to even *automate* any of your transmissions

well that blows a lot of cool ideas

Right?

But don't tell the hams that. They'll read you the riot act about "The spirit of the hobby!" or whatever

or list off FCC codes

well it is what it is, its radio waves

they are after all, right up there

having them rattle off the FCC codes before i do something stupid is helpful actually

Maybe the free market should shield their products better?

Thing is, you don't know if it's stupid

You'll never be able to find out

stupid as in illegal

eh, no victim no crime

say that after Gunner's radio gets us nuked

*Would you like to play a game?*

now i remember why i never got into it
a friend and i had some ideas about it, close to 10 years ago, but after i looked into it i realized how much of a pain it was
some of the stuff we wanted to do wouldn't have even been allowed
i guess the operators can sleep easy knowing they are protected from the clutter haha

Bunch of grumpy old fucks that want to stifle creativity so they can continue LARPing Red Dawn and complaining about their prostate to another continent

No, I want private, encrypted communications that don't rely upon the internet

Which, I found a solution for

yes me too tell me

There's a protocol called 'WinLink' that is essentially shortwave email, and it has the ability to attach files

PGP encrypt a short message in a text file, and email it

Inshallah kill the infidels that left their faith of Allah

hate to break it to ya Akbar

this is a Christian server ✝

The winlink email is also peer-to-peer, so there's no need for a server
