What I mean Adrian is that it could have been collected between 2 x 
ID1's on a simplex channel and have nothing to do with a Repeater.

you gotta think 3 dimensional  ;>)

I could set up one ID1 with a connection to my email/ftp/www server at 
home and run around sunny melbourne with the other ID1 in my car
collecting all sorts of stuff.

I think then you fall into the area of not being allowed to have any 
encrypted signals on the amateur frequencies.

Note, encrypted is different to encoded.

For many many years we had packet bbs's that sourced many messages 
directly from internet newsfeeds and that appeared to be ok under LCD's.

No its not.  A intranet is seperate and disconnected from the internet.  
The internet has come to mean a network outside your normal LAN/Intranet.

Look up the meanings of the words Intra and Inter.

Yea and like that's factual!!!!!

> "Where not capitalized, internet can refer to any internetwork."

What about if you talk of networks in RTTY,  its all capitol!!!  I think 
we all understand what we mean when we speak of the internet, or is it 
Internet, or
maybe INTERNET and our own personal closed intranet/Intranet/INTRANET's. 
(what happens when my spell checker wants to separate the word into 
Intra & net????)

I much prefer to use LAN and WAN.  I think of a WAN as being outside my 
control, like the internet, but I can dictate what happens in my LAN.

Anyone notice my ample use of the Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V features built into many 
windows (and indeed Linux/linux) programs these days.  Amazingly you 
dont even
need to use ctrl-c/ctrl-v,  it can be done with mouse clicks!
