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

[Michael Adams]

The non-K-land nodes should be identifiable from the Winlink station/frequency lists (and I believe there are some VE and XE stations in the system)

For other uses of Pactor...you'd be stuck with the usual problems of decoding Pactor, previously discussed.  RM-11708 by itself shouldn't impact those problems in the short term; there are no constraints today on keyboard-to-keyboard or P2P usage of the typical automated modes; there are no frequency constraints on automated stations up to 500Hz; and if anyone is running wideband automated stations from FCC-regulated space...well, rule-breakers are still going to be rule-breakers.

In my mid-term scenario, there could be some additional QRM caused by VE/XE automated stations and any non-automated users shifting away from the US automated subbands because of potential increased usage.  But I don't honestly have a good sense of how much such activity there is currently in the US automated subbands; I'd think that they already have plenty of incentive to be on other frequencies, and therefore shouldn't generate incremental QRM beyond any general overall increase in system usage.

One question for you, how do you tell if a P2-4 station(s) operating outside the auto sub bands is P2P, from a non-domestic source or yet another illegal mailbox? The reason you don't see a lot of the MTxx modes could be because the masses don't see them as a useful conversational mode even though they have advantages.
