The thing that distinguishes Pactor and Winlink from all other modes and indeed from the entire rest of amateur radio is the announced policy on the part of the Winlink community that they refuse to listen to determine if a frequency is clear before they transmit. This dangerous practice must stop. We have all tried "gentlemen's agreements" and ordinary "spirit of ham radio" approach but the Pactor community is intransigent, and appears to have its own agenda which is contrary to the interests of amateur radio as a whole. Any petition that will eliminate this kind of operations will be a good thing. de Roger W6VZV
