Hi Jeff,
Being fairly new to ham radio I may have mis-heard this, but the use case I
keep hearing about in my local area is to send a large Excel spreadsheet
over HF via Winlink to an served-agency email address in an emcomm
situation.
I do not understand the technical details at all, but the impression I have
is that the Pactor IV protocol is supposed to make this use case more
reliable, more efficient, and/or faster. Or at least that is my perception
from people who seem positive or indifferent towards the ARRL proposal.
Again, I'm a little hesitant as I'm so new to ham radio but the impression
I've gotten is that the ARRL proposal is to -- somehow -- help remove some
of the impediments to sending large file attachments over Winlink, but I
don't understand the technical details enough to say how it does that, so I
could be completely wrong.
