There is still something confusing about this.  Please consider
the following comparisons:

          FACT                               ANALOGY

Radio is a broadcast medium.           Any broadcast is in some ways a
                                        type of conference.

Radio has a limited propagation        A conference room has a limited
range.                                 size.

KSFO ATIS broadcasts on 118.85         Imagine a onference room with a
(and several other frequencies).       boombox constantly playing in the
                                        room.

No aircraft should be transmitting     There should never be any VOIP
on 118.85.                             traffic generated by ATIS.





Except as noted below, I cannot think of any reason why it would
be necessary or in any way desirable to defeat the ATIS function.
If there is a reason, please explain.

The only reason to defeat the /internal/ ATIS function would be
to replace it with a better ATIS function ... in which case you
would need to deal with many, many ATIS frequencies, not just
118.85.

Certainly we need a better ATIS function, but moving to /no/
ATIS function would be a step in the wrong direction.
