I'd agree with this logic. It is establishing a QSO, albeit on a different frequency. Similarly, a pager could be used to send signal reports, when there's only a 1 way path. For example, I can hear someone on HF, but they can't hear me, I could send a page saying "UR 5x1, can't reply, amp no go" . Now this is becoming a real time, cross band, cross mode QSO, and those ARE legal. :) 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
