Not sure what mode "the mode" is but should it not be for all modes?
Case in point - the other evening I was in QSO with a ham in Dallas Texas keyboard to keyboard Pactor 3 on 7077.4 LSB when N4CE started calling CQ on HELL (for half an hour) . He was so strong here in the mid west that we last the link. I feel sure that he had no clue whatsoever who or even that it was a KB to KB QSO. My point being it's just not "only" Pactor stations. In fact last week I have see more ALE stations and JT65A then anything else blasting away on a freq already in use.
