Re: [PRE-ANN] [CBC] CB Radio Coin - Looking for developers with HAM backgrounds
Hi!
Great, I appreciate you experience and input!
This was new to me and it definitely has to be taken into account. Thanks for bringing it into my attention!
While you're an expert in HAM radio, I'm a systems and network architect with similar experience to yours (20 years). I know my stuff when it comes to protocols. Using UDP is not reinventing anything; it merely means providing a more cost efficient alternative to the overly heavy TCP.
Maybe it's finally time to learn to love each other then.
A few points to note (I was a licensed HAM for 20 years before letting my license expire)
Great, I appreciate you experience and input!
1. It's illegal to send encrypted communication over amateur frequencies. It's illegal to use non-voice modes on CB in most places. Keep that in mind when designing your protocol.

2. As someone else already said, just use tcp over packet radio. Don't reinvent the wheel.

3. Amateur radio operators and CB operators generally hate each other.
