I don't understand this statement!  Are you saying the op's on the other
end of a packet spot aren't good op's?   Packet IS a big part of the
problem.  Once a spot is made, everyone and his brother moves to that
freq and starts calling, and calling, and calling.  I think is more fun
to find mult's on my own without having someone help me find stations to
work.
