There are a few of us hams that talk on a frequency that we consider our "home" frequency. Is it legal that this frequency be monitored by a scanner and then retransmitted on the internet on a personal web site? We are finding some hams dropping by and interrupting our QSO and critiquing our conversation. Just wanted to know if the retransmission was legal. This is through a scanner to a private web site and not echolink.

Hi. It is my understanding that t is legal to monitor the frequency, but not to disclose what was heard to a third party. I would think that would include playing recordings via a web site.

You should check the laws in your state, as well as FCC regulations.
