Hello Mike and all,
No, you only understand IN PART like so many others. To explain...
For practical intents and purposes the definition is:
If it transmits an RF signal on air it is radio.
To break it down a bit, for the purpose of packet if it forwards by radio
it is a radio BBS. If it forwards via land line REGARDLESS of any user
radio ports it is a land line BBS. If it has no radio ports it is
obviously a land line BBS, no doubt about it.
Where THE LAW regarding LICENSING is concerned we are now dealing with a
SEPARATE issue.
If it ends up on the air regardless of how it ultimately gets there, the
sender needs a radio license. For example, if I use a Telnet connection
to a BBS anywhere in the world I need a license to transmit because
although I haven't put the message on the air using my own radio
equipment I still have used SOMEONE'S radio equipment to do so. The same
goes for EchoLink except there voice is used instead of data.
Remember PLEASE everyone, The discussions on BBSes and the law regarding
radio transmitting are two SEPARATE issues! Let's not mix them together,
it only causes confusion. We have begun seeing it, so let's treat them
separately and UNconfuse this discussion.
