Greg, you're overlooking something - the time dimension. Yes, packet is a one-at-a-time affair, but those packets move quickly - 1200bps vs 31bps for PSK31. So, each station only has the bird tied up for a short period of time. You could think of it as a form of time division multiplexing. 73 de AJ4MJ On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 7:43 PM, Greg Dober <[email protected]> wrote:
