It doesnt matter if they are scheduled or not. The rules state that if a frequency is in use, you will NOT intefere with ongoing transmissions on it. Many of us are aware they have scheduled transmissions. I do NOT remember the dates/times/freqs and should not have to, if I do not want to

Salomao, There is no such thing as a scheduled transmission in the FCC rules. No one operator or organization can be above the law. ARRL has discussed this in the past since they do receive some flak on this kind of operation. They know that they are really not operating in a fully legal

The problem can be overcome, Walt; it requires equipping each station with a busy frequency detector. Attended stations already have a busy frequency detector: the operator. Unattended stations must be augmented to detect activity on the frequencies they use for transmission and never

The scenario where neither A or B can hear C or D, but that C or D are QRM'd by transmissions from A or B is indeed possible, but is relatively infrequent. No one expects A or B -- whether they are attended or unattended -- to suspend transmission to avoid QRMing a station that neither can

Unless I am having a senior moment, I recall that they said the operator listened on the frequency and if there was anything on that frequency, he would move the frequency slightly to not interfere. Maybe that has changed based upon another comment that the FCC allows them to interfere,
