I "respect" the PSK31 folks because I can see their traces and hear
them if I listen closely (wasn't always the case for me!  Not RFI
after all!).  Likewise for that calliope mode (MFSK?).  That actually
looks kind of cool on the waterfall and if I ever get my RF-on-audio
issues fixed with my DigiKeyer, I should probably try it.

It's impossible, in many cases, to do the same with Joe Taylor's stuff
(something else I want to try!).  I wouldn't know where they hang out
... and if I was at that spot, didn't hear anything, and sent QRL?
several times with no reply, I would not be violating any codes that I
know of.

Speaking of "whatever happened to ..." ... is there a good digital
band-plan?  I tend not to use the one from the ARRL as it is often
out-of-date and/or optimistic.  ;-)
