The only requirement is for someone to be the "moderator of record" with the distribution systems. It's not a Fido requirement and no rules are req'd. CB_RADIO, HAM-ECHO, and AUTORACE don't have any rules per se' that are regularly posted. In Europe, packet radio is allowed on 11mtrs. This topic is just emerging as a discussion in CB_RADIO & HAM-ECHO. I don't know if it's on topic here, but I'm sure we'll be told shortly. It's interesting to note that someone is playing with packet radio, using 49MHz walkie talkies...:) I can't wait to read how they accomplished building up a network with battery powered HT's and rubber duck antennas. ...

I have tried wiggling the band switch and a whole lot of other things. The meter goes dead. When it recieves, it is great, when it is dead it's dead. Haven't been able to get it to receive again since the last time I keyed it up to check output. It does transmit. I have been out of town on buisness, haven't had a chance to hook up the frequency counter yet. 73 de N3WJA --- Maximus 3.00 * Origin: Wit-Tech, Perry Hall, Md (410)256-0170 (1:261/1082) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 188 HAM TECH Ref: F3I00001 Date: 03/13/98 From: ED KRISTON Time: 07:36am \/To: IVY IVERSON (Read 0 times) Subj: Yaesu FT-102 problem HI Ivy, I think I will give that a try just to confirm I am on the right track.

(As the Mod or Co-Mod of several echos in FidoNet and 5 other nets, I say the following): Yes, there MUST be a moderator of record, who literally OWNS the echo. The mod(s) can write rules for their echo, and run, (or not run) their echo any way they see fit! I carry one FidoNet echo, (which shall remain nameless), that the Moderator shows up once every 6 months, just to renew the Elist listing, then dissappears back into the woodwork, and lets the echo run itself. Nothing is off-topic, though the participants all act like ladies and gentlemen, and if someone misbehaves, they find themselves moderated by any or all of the regulars. It's a friendly place - basically one big happy family, (most unusual in the cyber-world!)... perhaps the name keeps out the "riff-raff." I dunno. But the nearest thing to rules it has is what's posted in the Elist. But I fear this is too far off topic, so I will now SHUT UP about it! ...

(I have NONE of those qualifications!) I just happen to have studied electronics for most of my 50-plus years, and earned a radiotelephone 1st class license some 35 years ago, and at one time or another, have worked as an engineer for numerous radio & TV stations, among other jobs in electrical and electronic fields. I have also volunteered to teach Ham classes for our local Ham club. I do private tutoring on the subject, and am accredited as a VE by the ARRL. (I WILL NOT act as a VE for people I have trained or for close personal friends, however!) Of course, going from a long-expired license to Extra class Ham ticket in 6 months didn't hurt, either.

At least, that's how it SEEMS to work.. There's moderated echos and then there's un-moderated echos. Some have strict rules, others have none. The update you're talking about isn't the backbone database, but the Echolist Keepers database. None of these echos are the property of any distribution system, IE; backbone. ...
