Don't believe it? Just log on in and chat away. It'll only cost $5K when the FCC busts you. I've been a Ham for over 20 years and hold an Extra ticket as well as a ARRL VE certificate. You can listen all you want just not talk on any of the licensed frequencies. |

There are a lot of internet/VOIP links between repeaters, or remote transceivers.(EchoLink and IRLP being the most common) But that hamsphere thing is just  Take away my IRC, and there will be blood in the streets... But fake ham radio on the internet? Is this for 12yo's that can't steal enough money from their crackhead parents to buy or steal a CB? |

They are probably just getting this ready for the coming day when all the old ham guys are long gone and all that's out there is the internet. You will only find HAM radios in a museum somewhere and you will have to use the internet to "simulate" HAM radio just for fun and nostalgia. |

It'll be even more awesome when they figure out a way to "simulate" ham radio after the internet craters... |

Well I have a 70watt 2M mobile and a 5watt 2M HT sitting at my desk right now so I am ready for a local internet crash. Don't under estimate 2 meters I worked 298 miles ( Alice Texas to beamont Texas) last night with a vertical mounted at 20 feet. Then I worked the Dominican republic and Columbia with my clusterfuck of a dipole and 100 watts on 80 meters. |
