Hello Rud, How often does a remote users sending traffic through an automated station have to wait due to an exasberated number of ARQ retries due to stations purposely transmitting CQ's or whatever just because they don't care that its not a two-way QSO that is inhabiting the channel. It's more than a two way street, worst when you consider that the human factor does what it does knowingly and without regard to the remote automated station user.
Again, what is really needed for the ARS to grow and continue to be of value is set aside spectrum for traffic automation where peer-to-peer steer clear, then we shall have the best of situation. Until that happens its just going to be what we have now, which is not the best situation from either perspective. /s/ Steve, N2CKH At 02:46 PM 9/17/2007, you wrote: >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.
