Correction,
Don't operate anything else than wide digital in the wide digital
subbands. The wide modes don't usually have a problem. This way your
narrow QSOs will be in their own subbabd and you will not be crying
when a PACTOR PMBO steps all over you. Just like you never take a hike
in the highway because the fast cars will run over you.
>>>That's progress, Demetre. You acknowledge that the "remote
initiator ensures the frequency is clear" scheme is unreliable, and
that the result can be "a PACTOR PMBO steps all over you".
>>>The operators of wide digital modes are no less disgusted when
stepped on by an unattended station than are operators of narrower
modes. And as I mentioned in my response to Jose, the sub-bands in
which unattended operation is permitted vary between regions. Thus an
operator using a frequency on which unattended operation is not
permitted in her region could be stepped on by a PMBO operating in a
region where that frequency lies in an unattended sub-band.
>>>In the land of HF, the hiking paths and highways overlap. Thus,
your "simple and logical solution" simply doesn't work. We need
polite drivers.
