I'm not concerned with finding fall guys, John, I'm concerned with
eliminating the problem.
A fundamental principle of amateur radio is that no one owns a
frequency. If I find a clear frequency, I should be able to use it
without subsequent threat of QRM from remotely-controlled automatic
stations that weren't QRV when I first checked.
PSK31 and its successors are certainly stimulating more digital mode
QSOs. If you're thinking about this from the perspective of
frequency ownership, I can see how you'd view this trend negatively.
If you're thinking about technical innovation and the future of
amateur radio, however, the trend is undoubtedly positive.
A reminder, John: the only automatic operations I would confine
to "a small part of the band" are those whose software is incapable
of listening before transmitting.
