Yes, I guess you could say I am a new ham, having only been licensed
since 1977. Despite this, I've sent and delivered a few hamgrams, and
the difference between them and Pactor is that a ham had to be the
intermediary, as opposed to sending a communication directly to someone
who is not licensed. The same was true of the NTS, so these are not
analogous with Pactor or any of the other automated email forwarding
modes. I really can't understand why people don't get the distinction,
because it really isn't all that subtle.
We've been asked to end this thread, so let's do so.
