I would belive that if it was not for that fact that shortly after a PACTOR QSO the phone has rang telling me what orifice I should shove my pactor equipment into. Leaving no guessing what so ever about it. Then not even giving me time to say I was in a 2 person QSO. That my friend was the last time I sent a CW ID after a nice QSO.
That tells me TWO things - 1. The person *can* copy CW. 2. Can't copy any PACTOR . So does the source of the pactor "really" matter? I don't think so. I really do not think seven out of ten can even copy P-1. Maybe that's reason they don't like is it *because* the CAN'T copy it with their sound card. I really don't care what it is. You know what they say about the porch and the big dog's. So my friend I do think WINLINK has a lot to do with it when even a keyboard to keyboard QSO get's phone calls from some lid. But I guess, I'll look at the good side of it all. I will not be getting any calls from him again. Seems his state has laws about making phone calls like that. And he no longer has a land line. Thank you AT&T !!!! Who would like to be the next one? I'm in the book. But to answer that question - "Why does the ARRL continue to push for Pactor III " because it works, and works well.
