Hello Bonnie,

Not sure I proved anything :)

If I fall asleep on my keyer is that an unattended CW mode?

If I leave my vox on and background noise keys the xmitter is that 
an "attended SSB mode"?

What is at issue is *intentional* automatic modes, not my cat 
stepping on the ptt.

JT65 is not an automatic or semi-automatic mode in any sense of the 
definition.

73 and be well,

Bill N9DSJ
