[RTTY] ARRL attack on current RTTY users

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Pactor 4 is probably a great mode. We just don't want it used in the digital/CW portion of the bands where their unattended and
semi-automatic encrypted signals are set to reside. Put it up with other wide-band mode signals like Voice and Image.

This link was provided previous but it might be worth repeating. It has some good points.

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.
