How many times is a QSO busted because neither the attended or unattended stations could hear the QSO?
I suspect this happens more frequently than most like to consider. It is easier to get aggravated.

A properly configured busy detector in the unattended station would prevent the ongoing QSO from being QRM'd -- the unattended station would simply not respond to the attended station's attempted activation because it knows that by doing so it would QRM an ongoing QSO. 73, Dave, AA6YQ
