Do you broadcast your HAM radio password unencrypted before you login to HAM? Do you broadcast your bank account information and SSN over HAM? No you don’t on HAM, but if you use HTTP you do.
- vvanders 7y agoNo, because you don't do any commercial transmissions on ham radio. If you want to do that grab some Ubitqui gear or other Part 15 device and go crazy. Also you do transmit callsigns which anyone can look up and find out who you are + where you live. There's no expectation of privacy and never has been on the bands.
- kawfey 7y agoThis is a pet peeve of mine, but it's ham radio, not HAM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology_of_ham_radio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology_of_ham_radio
