I saw the article earlier today, but it was nearly six years old so it's of questionable relevance.

Obviously the page has been killed as someone does not want to run afoul of the FCC, I guess. Guys sometimes write dumb things in magazines. Non ham use is always a problem and there have been bad suggestions from time to time to make an FCC license a requirement for ham equipment sale. Ah, the days of phony draft cards for beer! I agree with you, we don't want to get it (none ham use) into the "regulation by bandwidth" dialog. Frank....N2FF.... dick@pobox.com wrote:

At the risk of further stirring the pot on the issue of non-ham use of WinLink 2000 on amateur frequencies, I have appended below a message from one of my ham friends. In his message, he references the /Ocean Navigator/ web site he pointed out to me earlier. This URL is what he wanted me to read:
