Can you provide a more clear instruction on which law "Our law"
actually IS? I'm guessing that VK4TEC might be Canadian? But I'm a
new-enough operator that I'm just not quite sure...

VE is Canadian<br>
<br>
VK is Australian<br>
<br>
Even if the law says each packet must be identified, does it mandate
that it must be in the "FROM" field, or can it be in the payload? <br>
<br>
<br>
In the US and Canada, it is perfectly legal for the (mandatory) ID to
be in the payload area of a packet rather than in the FROM field, thus
making possible tactical calls with any arbitrary string of 6 letters
and/or numbers in the FROM field. <br>
