Hi Danny,
I replied up here 'cause I wasn't sure what I was going to snip out from your message, yet. Why not apply the rationale to transmitters in general? YOU can't transmit for your thrice-weekly sked because your station detects VERY nearby signals and will not transmit...until the current "interferring" QSO terminates? THEN, you can transmit on the sked frequency. Or, you just come up on frequency, very close to 14.236 Digi voice group or very close to 3.713 Digipix group and you're going to want to ask if the frequency is use (albeit you can aurally sense the ongoing comms nearby) - only you can't because of the "Busy Guard" and thus, nothing transmitted to interfere with the pix or voice transfers. ORRRR, you come up to 3.713 and want to key up to declare that the digital NOISE is crap!, and then whistle or whatever - only you can't 'cause of the "Busy Guard." I can see all sorts of possibilities for the technology. Hmmm, now when the folks on 3.713 stop transmitting the digital pix and there's silence..... and then you CAN transmit your anti-digital pix diatribe, you can continue to spew out explitives and NONE of the folks can transmit until you stop (because of their own "Busy Guard" protection). I wonder if my example is as "incomprehensible" as another was said to be that I wote for a different subject. Don't ask me what my point is. I was just musing over your scenario and this blossomed out of that. First the BOTS, then...... the rest of the interference.
