   doesn't HAM radio already have a digital packet system that works like fidonet store-and-forward system?

   this just adds an encryption layer?

      Ham is not an acronym, no need to capitalize it. It’s slang for an amateur radio user.

         On the other hand it annoys some of the most insufferable humans on the planet. As a ham who’s not a boomer who would gladly die with the airwaves silent but compliant with rules and regulations established assuming usage of the spectrum would grown instead of dwindle I encourage it. Fuck ‘em.
