[RTTY] FW: If you care about CW and RTTY - time is of the essence

[Dave AA6YQ]

I and other digital mode operations have for years  been QRM'd by automatic stations without busy frequency detectors, and you've been presented with hard evidence in the form of screen shots demonstrating that fact. To advocate expansion of the bandwidth or range permitted for such operation is counter to a core principle of the amateur radio service: we politely share frequencies.

         73,

               Dave, A6YQ

Dave,

Claims of potential increases in QRM, nothing more. And without at least a year long test period where Pactor 4 and only that would be allowed, there is no way to prove to anyone on this and other lists that your fears of being overrun by it are ungrounded.
