Since I put out my bulletin a few days ago about how some operators are
getting their knickers in a twist with the appearance of bulletins which
originated in a legal CB packet network I have had a few replies from Europe.
I have realised that these European stations do not understand the
difference between bulletin headers and station identification.
Where the CB callsign appears in the bulletin is NOT repeat NOT a station
identification. If you dissagree with this then you MUST delete any of those
bulletins that pass through the internet. They carry the identification of non
amateur systems. This especially applies to bulletins that passed through
Winlink 2000 systems.
Now I am sure you will agree that that is absurd. However it is equally
absurd that the text, and the headers ARE part of the text of CB bulletins
would make them illegal.
Note all this refers to BULLETINS not messages between third parties.
Bulletins are just text. Just like when someone sees something interesting
on the internet and copies it into a bulletin. Those authors are unlicenced
just like the CBers. Whats the difference ?
Another thing, it matters not a hoot if there is no legal CB packet in your
country, so even if the CBer was illegal his text is still legal in the
amateur network because it is then transmitted by a licenced amateur.
I hope this helps to clear up some of the fog of confusion which has
decended on this subject. After all, we might learn something.
