Dee:

Are you arguing:
1) That people should not do this?
-or-
2)It is impossible?

It started out that it was impossible--of course that is ridiculous
and only old hams would think it was, the technology has existed and
been in use for at least a decade (and is a prime example of why the
tech savvy young crowd make faces at amateur radio.)

Now you want to start arguing rules--I decline--I have NO TIME for
that... take rules up with the lawyers here, none of that interests
me... I will police myself or suffer the consequences, others only
need worry about themselves...

.... why anyone would think 56k is "dangerous" on HF should have their
heads examined... it is the audio bandwidth that is of consequence
here, not rf bandwidth! (with the exception of FM which it can be used
on with even greater speed and success!) Spread Spectrum would be
much faster, 1-100 mb per sec should be no problem and virtually
impossible to detect, if done over a wide enough spectrum...

As far as the hardware, enough information has been given in a
previous post of mine for a computer/radio savvy tech to stick one of
these puppies together on a weekend, any second year college student
in CS/EE should be able to handle the software, this is assuming an
ibm/clone/work-a-like, I have never seen it done on a mac or
mainframe, but possible I am sure...

Now you are just standing there looking silly...

I also might add that with "DVD Decryptor" and "AutoGK" you can
compact a full 2+ hour DVD to a regular 650 meg cdrom which is
playable via windows media player on virtually ANY windows computer
having minimal specifications.


And how does that allow it to be transmitted over the amateur bands
in a useful time period??? 650 meg is still far more than can be
sent over the HF bands in any practical amount of time.

Indeed, it may help some to play with this as it really gives one a
picture into the power of the medium which is being missed by
hams... as they stoke their vibroflex's...


It may help you to calculate the transmission time of 650 meg at
only 300 baud. And don't tell me the rules can be changed. As I
said before, that's not practical as the speed that would be
required to do the type of transfer that you want at any bearable
speed would wipe out an entire band or more.

So tell us the magic encryption scheme that lets you transfer that
data in a matter of minutes.
