Dave, You cannot be suggesting actually listening before transmitting? Would be a slap in the face of tradition.
Seriously, it will be interesting to see how it all sorts out...I will move the PAX2 station into the dustbin on 80 as I am not about to dump that wide a signal onto the new compressed band...hope yet doubt other wide-mode ops will do the same. Otherwise I plan on operating the narrow band modes much as before the 15th....will see how it all plays out long term. I have no problem with semi-auto stations as by definition they have a live op to initiate contacts that, in theory, actually listen before transmitting. "Automatic" stations are a whole other discussion!
