Hi Steve

Perhaps a better question would be "Do packet stations every send any QSO 
information?"

If you monitor a packet station for any length of time, it seems it is just 
a bunch of junk, like people connecting just to see if they can connect. 
Nothing but callsigns, not saying anything.  I have never seen any actual 
QSO information sent on packet.  I have never figured out what packet is 
good for.  Maybe in years past, but it seems obsolete to me!!  73
