Topband: WAR !

[kolson at rcn.com]

Packet radio ran unattended for most guys many years ago. I could be at the store and the DX callouts would come and my radio would acknowledge them.

I don't remember this being illegal or immoral...

What I do not understand on all this is.

If the station is running on itself UN-attended.

Is that just not even legal. Never mind ethical?
