[OZAPRS] HF Frerquency

[Ray Wells]

Hi All,

Something to consider when advising that "we" have been here for years 
is that nobody owns a HF frequency. We faced the same issue with BBS's 
on HF. It's probably nothing else but fortunate that nobody lodged an 
official complaint that we were transmitting without first listening. 
Given the unattended nature of both the BBS and APRS, every automated 
station is guilty of transmitting over other stations without first 
listening.

Be wary of the can of worms :-[

What did someone say, "suck it in".
