I do not believe that one way transmissions should be legal on the

Period.


No bulletins about hurricane Katrina and communications emergency
activations?

No code practice sessions?

No remote control of satellites?

No remote control of model airplanes?

No remote control of repeaters?

No telemetry from satellites?

No propagation beacons?

No APRS? (Not even in balloons?)

No auxiliary links between remote elements of a repeater system?

No................

"Period"

Damn, Mike, you one ultra-conservative summabitch!

don't forget, you have to call cq until someone answers you, otherwise it
would be a one-way transmission! so you better be darn sure there is
someone that is going to answer you before you call cq.

Negative.

Unless a person is some kind of nut case where they just sit and call
CQ without any intention of establishing a QSO, they are trying to
engage in a two-way conversation.

Is K1MAN trying to engage in a QSO?

Is ARRL trying to engage in a QSO?

Is someone calling CQ trying to engage in a QSO?

Someone using a repeater?


Presumably, the answers are no, no, yes, yes.

See, it isn't to hard to have my opinion on this. It is at least as
consistent as the Byzantine qualifications that people try to use to
justify W1AW broadcasts versus K1MAN bulletins!

Some of us think perhaps a little more consistent.....
