Bloody whinging poms - if YOU personally don't have an interest, or the abilities, to use IRLP then please do the world a favour and just SHUT THE HELL UP!! The entire world does NOT bow down to the wishes and desires of the UK, despite what you may think.... It isn't the good old days of the colonies when people actually gave a rats what pommies had to say... And, it may be nice if you actually quoted accurate information rather than looking like the typical brain dead whinging pommie dickhead you are when you refer to IRLP, a mode limited to the Amateur Radio Service, as "CB trash". And believe me, there are many of us out here that aren't remotely interested in the nonsense that constantly comes from the UK either.......... -- Martin, VK2UMJ To reply by e-mail, replace ".invalid" with ".com.au" "I cannot help but notice that there is no problem between us that cannot be solved by your departure." |
As I Australian living in the UK, I personally can't understand the
"Dial-A-Contest" principle, so Ashley it's not just "whinging poms" that can't understand the need to have this pointless contests on the Internet. "It isn't the good old days of the colonies when people actually gave a rats what pommies had to say" Didn't Australia just vote to keep the monarchy? I believe we did and voted to continue to be ruled by the UK. I personally voted against, but the majority voted to continue being ruled by the UK, so in a way Ashley our Country agreed to "give a rats" what the UK poms say" Sorry just had to throw that in the lighten the mood :) BB |

I didn't vote for the system to be altered because they didn't offer a directly elected option, and if the claytons republic option had gotten through then no second chance would have been available. This way the republic is still on the agenda and there is likely to be another referendum in the medium term (say the next 20 years), with a good chance it'll include a directly elected president (or Judge Advocate General) or whatever you want to call the re-named directly elected replacement for the govenor general.

Martin Don't let the predictable nonsense of a few of the resident idiots on this group make you think that we are all the same over here..... Regardless of the content of your post, they would have sniped at it, if they couldn't snipe at the content they would have found a typo or a spelling mistake... They are sad old men who have no other way of getting any attention... The one idiot in particular 'Walt' (who wears a dress by the way) is the biggest moron here, he has a very limited repertoire which mainly consists of..... My license is bigger than yours I'm really old and therefore better than you And the old favourite...You must be a CBer..... The bloke is a complete worthless idiot....Don't waste your time..... Good luck with your contest, not my cup of tea but if we all liked the same things wouldn't life be dull... 73 Andy MW0GUV (Englishman in Wales) |

He is repetitive beyond belief with perhaps only his predictability being slightly more staggering.

I am not trying to debate EchoLink.. So, are you saying that IRLP *is* part of Amateur Radio as it uses radio *linked* using internet protocol, but EchoLink (etc) isn't as it uses NO radio at all??? Can we assume that is correct? |

Isn't your **TROLL** community large enough in the UK ? May I just remind you that it was VK3HAG who cross-posted this "IRLP Contest" drivel to uk.radio.amateur in the first place. If he hadn't done that, we would never have known about it and none of this ... er ... "friendly debate" would ever have taken place. Until the IRLP 'contest' started and then you'd all be sitting there in your rocking chairs, wondering what the hell was happening and then whinging that nobody had even bothered to tell you that it was on! At least now you know, and can switch off your hearing aid and ignore all those 'non-amateur' type people, or even pull the plug on the IRLP node, which I know you in the UK wouldn't have anyway as it really isn't amateur radio, and we all know that the Brits never do anything remotely controversial, don't we! |
Of course Walt's using a computer and the internet, but to contribute to a NG. And to which he keeps signing his Amateur Radio Callsign. He is not using VoIP instead of a radio, and then calling it amateur radio. Granted IRLP requires a radio at each end, but the other VoIP modes do not, and that is what is the issue with many of us. Dave S. Certainly, the Echolink system has it's weeknesses, but it isn't under discussion here, IRLP is. And that's part of the issue, the confusion, or lack of understanding of the vital security differences between the two systems. Brad. |

As has been said many times before, anyone with or without a licence can invent a callsign and go "on-air". Once they done that, the IRLP network is just as easy to access as any other frequency. All this PGP authentication between nodes is just a spin-off from the fact that Dave Cameron invented the system primarily as a VOIP system to replace land-lines for commercial applications. It is quite unnecessary on the ham bands. -- Chris |

Since Dan kept raising the issue of WWW users appearing on air, then it is pertinent that he should understand his error. Brad. |

It is quite unnecessary on the ham bands. The entry level to pirate on an IRLP node requires a radio. PGP is equally used in the Commercial IRLP systems as on Amateur Radio. Unnecessary, thats one point of view. The other is, another good demonstration of how PGP can be used to authenticate computers on the internet. IRLP uses bi-directional authentication with PGP...so your not going to masquerade... Would you prefer PGP authentication or a QRZ database lookup ? You decide............. |
