I've been operating the digital modes since 2003 and RTTY contesting since 2006 and I've had 100's of QSO's destroyed by PACTOR stations that didn't listen before transmitting on top of my QSO. Liste
I agree with most of what Thomas says; however, as a Pactor operator myself and a long time user I do disagree with one aspect. Pactor operators as a whole are not rude nor selfish. Instead it's the

These are all good points to make the the FCC. I don't personally have any bias against the email-via-hf as a project. What I don't like is the side-step the official rules mentality that the interes
Jim, My point was that 'rude and selfish' points to owners of auto mailbox systems, whether they run PACTOR or some other mode. It's not all PACTOR users, just owners who clobber everyone with their

Yesterday evening I was on 20 meters working a DX station on RTTY. The frequency was 14082.000 kHz and a PACTOR station came on frequency and wiped out the QSO. Mark N8HOU you can try to gloss over t
Well, I just did something I haven't done in a long time. I opened a Winlink client and updated the Pactor frequency lists. For whatever it's worth, I see: VE7RBH, a P4 node, at 14081.5 IQ9IL, a P4 n
Michael, the US stations can't connect to anything, US or not, that is wider than 500Hz outside the auto sub bands. I've seen US stations connect to Canadian nodes, P3 and W1600 out of US allocations
Michael, unless I misread your first post you specified DX nodes not individuals P2P. WG3G is not listed as having a 9Y designator so to connect to him it's just his US call, at least that's what the

Ron N0IA is running multiple copies of the server software on multiple radios and is running 500 Hz outside the wide band segments. I don't know about the other two. Matthew Pitts N8OHU _____________
Matthew, is he still listed as W1600 P3 on the frequencies outside the sub band? If he is some of the not so bright, push button for email, users will try it in those modes. Ron K0IDT N0IA is running

Ron, N0IA's not even listed in the software or on the website right now, but the last time I checked and he was showing in the software, he was listed as 500 Hz Pactor/Winmor outside the subband. Onl
Matthew, if I can get to the radio computer later I'll send you a screen shot of the last list I have from RMSx not the web site. It really doesn't matter, Winlink will never clean up their act, ARRL
Ron, have you heard any idea of the number of Winlink users? 73/jeff/ac0c www.ac0c.com alpha-charlie-zero-charlie Matthew, if I can get to the radio computer later I'll send you a screen shot of the
Jeff, I have no idea of current numbers. There is a stat page on Winlink.org that should have something current, number of users, message count and modes used. The web site used to claim 10,000+ sail

Less than 3000?? That number sounds low Matthew but if you trust your source then I'll accept it. Ron K0IDT Less than three thousand, but that is worldwide and including MARS and possibly SHARES user
