Let's not jump to conclusions.

[[The following is not intended to provoke, but to expose the nerve that was
unwittingly touched by the above:  There's a difference between "this hasn't
been really throught out..." and one not taking the time to know enough about
the system before commenting on it.  That's the mistake that Dan at ARRL made and
then was compelled to correct.  Again, no offense intended]].

Read the information on the website and you will find that home-stations
transmit only when they press <F9>.  They lurk otherwise.  It's kind of tough to
have two signals unless you decide to do it consciously.

Guys...quit trying to find reasons to _not_ do something cool.  Give it a try! 
This stuff is v-e-r-y cool!
