I have been reading the messages, and just have a couple of comments. One is I would like to see a sub-band for the automatic stations, even if it is just a gentleman agreement like the current agreements.
Second is if you operate in the subband you have to take the QRM that comes with it, and if it means that a automatic station comes on without checking to see if the freq is busy so be it, you know that in the subband it might happen. Also just because you can hear the automatic station does not mean that it can hear you, so even if does check, doesn't mean it won't start transmitting because it might not have heard you anyway. Just my opinion Kurt WA8VBX Need a Digital mode QSO?
