>Please explain the violation (and please cite Part 97).

Sec. 97.219 Message forwarding system
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Any amateur station may participate in a message forwarding system, 
subject to the privileges of the class of operator license held.

(b) For stations participating in a message forwarding system, the control 
operator of the station originating a message is primarily accountable for 
any violation of the rules in this part contained in the message.

(c) Except as noted in (d) of this section, for stations participating in a 
message forwarding system, the control operators of forwarding stations that 
retransmit inadvertently communications that violate the rules in this part 
are not accountable for the violative communications. They are, however, 
responsible for discontinuing such communications once they become aware of 
their presence.

(d) For stations participating in a message forwarding system, the control 
operator of the first forwarding station must:

(1) Authenticate the identity of the station from which it accepts
communications on behalf of the system; or

(2) Accept accountability for any violation of the rules in this part
contained in messages it retransmits to the system.

Yes, I thought as much. However, I haven't heard of any trouble with land
lines interfering with 100 Hz subtones (which our club has to open our
UHF/VHF xband repeater). So the problem might not be there in real life.
(and I was curious if there might be another reason.)

OK. See follow-up to another reply.

I shortened the part you quoted.  I'm assuming that is the particular
piece you are referring to.

Saying that the station needs to be authenticated by the first forwarding
station doesn't mean that the callsign needs to appear in the header.  This
section doesn't specify that an amateur callsign must appear in the "from"
area of the AX.25 header.  Under this section, I (as a digi operator) can
digipeat tactical callsigns so long as I know that they are originated by
an amateur.  It doesn't say that I can't digipeat tactical calls, only that
I need to authenticate them or take responsibility for their content.

I was responding to the use of CW for use as an ID when using a digipeater. 
Since CW will not translate through a digipeater, then you can't use it as 
an ID when using a digipeater.  Your callsign needs to be contained in the 
UI frame.  Where in the UI frame probably doesn't matter, as long as it is 
somewhere that the digipeater will not strip it out.

The digipeater ID does not need to be propagated through the network.
All the digipeater has to do is identify its' transmission.  So if the
digipeater sends its' callsign every 10 minutes then it has met the
requirements for identifying.

I think you are missing something in this conversation.  This discussion has 
nothing to do with the identification of a digipeater.

The radio operator of the originating message cannot use CW to ID the 
transmission if he has set the path so that it will go through a digipeater.

Transmitting a message through a digipeater is not the same thing as 3rd 
party traffic.

My callsign at the hotmail account was used about a year ago... Got about

Only lasted for about 2 weeks, then they must move on to another make-it-up

How can someone authenticate identity of a stations packets unless the
callsign is in the packet?  What is the issuse about the callsign being in
the header of the message?

If the retransmission of a message occurs without proper id of the station
of origin isn't that a violation?

Do you want the hassle of having to prove who sent the message that your
digi repeats?  How will you do that if the packets don't have the station
of origin's callsign somewhere?

Thanks,
