How often are hams in the RTTY/data segment interfered with by 6 kHz
> bandwidth signals that originate from hams now?

While it wasn't 6 KHz ... just this morning a PACTOR station fired up
right in the middle of the WSPR, JT-65 and JT-9 activity on 30 meters.

The interference was either a remote mail system or a user who was not
listening for existing activity since I could see at least 10 WSPR
signals within the passband of the PACTOR station and that many or more JT65 and JT9 signals that would have received QRM if the PACTOR station
had "up-shifted" to a faster protocol.

This is exactly the issue with both the automatically controlled
§97.221 (b) and "semi-automatically" controlled §97.221 (c) stations -
there is absolutely no concern for existing activity on any frequency.
PACTOR users are the only mode that believes "listen before transmit"
and "first come, first served" does not apply to them.  *THAT* is the
quintessential definition of *LID* and "intentional interference."

have your answer about the question.

Matthew, it's happening now with the 97.221(c) stations. What makes you

think the wide band stuff
will behave any better? The big problem is no one, not the FCC or the
ARRL, is watching or responding
to complaints.

Some major flaws that I see in his argument are:

4: As I said before, claims of a massive increase in the number of
automatic stations or wide bandwidth digital voice stations swamping
the RTTY/Data bands are nothing more than FUD.
