No stretch at all, Mike, when an educated fella says

" I do not believe that one way transmissions should be legal on the amateur
 bands.

"Period."

That "period" business doesn't seem to leave any room for exceptions.

"One way' is "one-way".  Period.

"Yes Officer, I saw the sign with the arrow, and I was only going one way!"


Yeah Hans, You are right. I really meant any transmission that does not elicit a return transmission. This means no control signals, no polling receivers and transmitters, nothing other than humans talking or beeping to each other. No sub-audible tones, nothing to make a machine on which you want to talk to another do something that aids in that talking. Yeah, that is what I meant. I don't consider those one way transmissions because they aren't IMO.


	Have fun!
