I don't think the lack of this behaviour on CW has much to do with pure
motives, but nore to do with a lack of audience.


It makes a nice statistic to hang your hat on, but the since such antics are
most readily "detectable" on voice you could make the same claim for any mode
other than voice.

I'm not certain that Jim means to do so, but the cumulative weight of his
postings on the subject sends this message:

"CW operations are allowed on all frequencies without restriction because CW
operators can be trusted to do the right thing.
SSB/AM/RTTY/AX.25/PSK-xx/AMTOR/PACTOR/SSTV operators can not be trusted, so
their kind must not be allowed a similar freedom to cooperatively select
operating frequencies."

Worldwide evidence flies in the face of this lack of trust.
