>>>QRM from PMBOs and other deaf robots spoils the enjoyment of

willing to do practically anything to make WinLink stop generating
QRM. Anti-radiation missiles tuned to PMBO frequencies were on a lot
of Christmas lists; "Ack *this*".
You see now why the PBMOs cannot install any DCD mechanism that
detects QRM and they leave the busy detection to be the responsibility
of the client? Because people like you would misuse such a mechanism
and the PMBOs would be rendered useless.
This is a VERY bad practice that you and your followers excercise and
hence you should have your license revoked for this action you just
admitted yourself.
+++Demetre, an anti-radiation missile is a weapon typically used to
destroy air-defense radars by locking onto their transmitter
frequency. "Anti-radiation missiles tuned to PMBO frequencies were on
a lot of Christmas lists" was a humorous way of pointing out that
PMBO QRM has generated widespread and massive frustration. Nowhere in
this message -- or any other message I have posted -- do I advocate
QRMing PMBOs. This sort of action would be as irreponsible as using
or operating a PMBO, and I have made that point here on several
occasions.
+++I have heard the argument that WinLink can't now apply busy-
frequency detectors because the amateur radio community is so angry
at them for years of QRM that operators would camp on PMBO
frequencies just to prevent them functioning. This argument is
completely bogus - just another rationalization for continuing to
generate QRM. While a few operators might QRM a few PMBOs for a few
days, the effect would be minimal. Even the most perverse human
operator won't sit at a station continuously just to QRM an automated
station. He or she will get bored and go bother someone more likely
to provide a reaction.
