But does that still apply, Shelby? In this age of 
panadaptors/waterfalls, anyone can see what has been happening on any 
nearby spot for recent history. I routinely run a waterfall that 
keeps the last 2-3 minutes of activity on the screen, so when I have 
to move, I can do so with confidence that nobody that I can hear is 
using that spot.

For a guy with a waterfall like mine (flex 6700), I think it is a 
waste of time to ask. I don't see any way to _not_ notice if someone 
is on the freq.
