Not only that, but you actually are prohibited from encrypting ham radio transmissions. This means, practically speaking, no ham Internet, as everything mandates encryption online nowadays.
- Shared404 6y agoMy understanding is that you're allowed to have encrypted communications, but only if the key is public. Whether or not that counts as encryption, I don't know.
- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoWell, the whole purpose and ethos of ham radio is for everything to be public, and anyone can listen in to a conversation, so I think that's a good thing.
- moftz 6y agoExcept for the various proprietary voice codecs out there.
- jMyles 6y agoIs this a sideways slight against AREDN? Because I still think AREDN is pretty cool.
- samizdis 6y agoI wonder where the borders lie between encryption and deliberate obfuscation - say, by native speakers of a little-known language (which was done for some WWII radio transmissions by the US [1]) and also to a far lesser extent by old-time London gangs using Cockney rhyming slang and variants thereof.
