HOUSE RULES
THE CODE OF THE BORDER
What you agree to when you apply for a badge. Short, because it has to be read.
You are licensed, and the callsign is yours.
You hold a valid amateur radio licence from your country’s administration, and the callsign on your account is the one issued to you. Club calls belong to their trustee.
Whatever you send goes out over the air.
Audio sent through this site is carried by XLX245 to every repeater and hotspot linked to it and transmitted on amateur frequencies. You are the originating operator, and the rules of your licence apply exactly as if you were holding a microphone: in the United States, FCC Part 97.
Identify, and keep it amateur.
Give your callsign the way you would on the air. No music, no broadcasting, no business, no encryption, nothing you wouldn’t say on a club repeater with the whole county listening.
It is logged.
Sign-ins and everything transmitted through the site are recorded with your callsign, the time and your network address, and the reflector’s operators can review them. Listening is never recorded.
Approval is at the marshals' discretion.
Accounts are approved by people, not automatically. They may decline an application, ask you to confirm your licence address by post, or pull a badge at any time, without notice and without having to say why.
Keep your password to yourself.
Your account acts under your callsign. Don’t share it, and tell a marshal if you think someone else has it.
No promises.
This site is run by volunteers for the fun of it, provided as-is, and may be down, changed or switched off at any time.
