Hi all,
just one more comment on the success or lack thereof concerning the use of
packet in WAE:
I thought it might be interesting to gather some statistical data rather
than express my individual opinion (which, BTW, doesn't contain a whole lot
more info than my opinion, right?).
Tnx to Ben, DL6RAI, who provided the participation figures (see below).
Packet use seems to have been allowed for everyone around 1990. Seems to me
the most obvious is a strong seasonal trend probably related to the sunspot
cycle ...
