The difference is that the Packet folks do not feel that they have a
god-given right to crash other hams' QSO's. We operate according to PART97
and The Amateur's Code.

So, you are saying ALL Pactor operators crash the Packet guys? I
thought the problem was with WinLink PMBO's on Pactor 3?
I don't think too many individual people would have licenced Pactor
3, I certainly have not, and don't need to.
Since part of this idea is to announce our Pactor/Packet skeds via
Sholto's & Andy's spot pages, it may revive things a little, is there
anything wrong with that? Those looking for contacts, have places to
help them coordinate skeds. Oh yes, how about trying 600 baud Robust
Packet ;-)
Pactor may be dead........but whats wrong with trying to get it
going? Like, Ham Radio IS a hobby? Why not all enjoy it for what it
is, with what ever mode we want to use. :-)
