I've been thinking about the (US) cliche that, "you can't do internet over #hamRadio because of the advertising." Who says so? Not #part97 unless I missed something.

I'm not getting paid for the #advertising, so I have no #pecuniary interest. Maybe you could argue it's #thirdPartyTraffic, which might mean no retransmission outside the country.

A proxy with a null cipher to the full #internet seems legal as far as I can tell. Where am I wrong?

#AmateurRadio

#TIL about two #words that have sorta passed each other in opposite directions on their journey of #etymology.

#Cattle is from the same root as 'capital', and its rootwords originally meant 'wealth, money, property'. Then it narrowed to moveable property (ie, livestock), and then further to specifically bovine animals.

The rootwords of #pecuniary (from 'peku', meaning moveable property (ie, livestock)) narrowed to cattle (which equalled wealth), then on to 'money', then on to 'money-related'.
