[RTTY] What is this auto mode that QRM's me?

[Thomas W4HM]

Since getting into the digital modes in 2003 I've been QRM'ed 100's of times 
by automatic PACTOR stations on most every HF band. That means 100's of 
busted QSO's, many that were very important for me as I worked on RTTY DXCC 
and completed in 2009, #2308.

So the whole RM-11708 thing just boggles my mind. One has to ask how the 
ARRL could find the QRM situation okay?! It violates one of the most sacred 
operating tenets, not to QRM another station already operating on a 
frequency.

I don't want to start an ARRL rant thread but when I came to understand this 
I dropped my ARRL membership. Yes I know about the argument that you can't 
change how the ARRL operates if you are not a member. But I just don't buy 
that logic as the ARRL does not listen to it's membership no matter what.

So why should I give them $$$ so that they can use it to interfere with my 
operating. To me it's like buying a gun for a criminal so he can shoot me!!!
