Dave - you are correct. That very statement was rather boldly made by a
prominent 160 meter person right here.
That was me. It was a statement of fact.
RHR requires a log in name, password, and they watch IPs. After some early
abuse, they started checking to be sure the name and password come from the
same IP or IP pool as the user name and password combo. When it is a foreign
user, of which there are a limited number, the traffic is watched.
It is highly unlikely someone used RHR, unless Dave knows of some flaw in
the system. If Dave does, or if you do Joel, you should do something
constructive and point out the flaw.
At the time I thought about
throwing the flag on that one but decided, then, not to. I know the remote
folks can track ISP addresses of those connected but do not know how they
can verify a station outside the country where the remote is located is
identifying correctly and lawfully.
RHR is getting the heat here when, factually, Dave probably hasn't the
faintest idea who or what was being used and/or where the station was coming
from.
This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Someone makes a doomsday prediction.
Hearing something funny, the conclusion is it had to be via RHR. Then Joel
decides if Dave said it, it must be right. W8JI has to be wrong, because
Dave knows more about RHR procedures and can monitor the system better then
Tom can, looking at site operation data.
:-)
We are not only so clairvoyant as a group that we know everything that
happened with ZM enough to publically lynch him, we now are such experts on
remote radio we know what system it came from.
So, I'll make a bold statement here....The remote folks don't care and
will not control it as long as the $$$$ are flowing in. Money talks and
the rules can go to hell.
What a bizarre statement!
Am I wrong?? Then prove me wrong and let's see some hammering down on this
by the remote folks.
Unfortunately, no one can correct what is in someone else's imagination or
opinion. Facts will never overcome good old fashioned emotional-driven
opinions.
