This is pretty much what I said in my comments. Unless both stations can communicate to each other that a frequency is busy, not even busy detection will work. You will have the polling station transmitting when it sees a clear frequency and the automatic station transmitting when it sees the frequency clear thereby wiping out any ongoing QSO.
