The horse-and-buggy people are the automatic stations which do not have the capability to listen before transmitting, despite the fact that the technology and capability are readily available. We can hope that this will, in fact, decrease as internet access becomes more universal at RV parks and the like, and there is less incentive for RVers to use Winlink as a means of cheap internet access. de Roger W6VZV
