Unfortunately there are so many free tools online like Tor Bundle and
Vidalia Onion (torproject.org) available that provides you an your IP
adress by providing anonymity or many hundred of different locations you
wish to *appear* to be originating from. This service was also to
provide a degree of freedom for persons blogging from totalitarian
countries from retaliation by repressive governments.
I also agree with Tom that the saga made out of the "aggressive
calling",( a term that KH6IJ, Nose coined and once sent me a letter
admonishing me for continuously calling him to work my first KH6 on TB
over a half century ago) that under the circumstances way to much was
made out of nothing. George AA7JV should be on island today with
specialized antennas. If he can't work real JA's from Navassa then I am
not sure anyone else there could. If there is a SW skew opening to JA
he will work hundreds on 160 that a really in Japan.

Dave - you are correct. That very statement was rather boldly made by a

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.
