Not too many.  I'm wondering how many PSK signals we can sit in 2.8Khz?

Daniel,

Please don't group me (an avid SSB operator) in with the likes of "CH" on
3.860.  Some of us are very well behaved on the air.  I seriously wish
that the FCC would lay off the lusers who QRM their local repeater - A few
local hams with some simple DF equipment, a PC to obtain a PLL signature
from the offending station, and an arc welder to "disable" the equipment
of the offending station once properly DF'd and identified can handle that
type of enforcement. - and spend their time and resources going after the
lusers (spelling intentional) who get all tanked up and then go QRM on HF
with language that makes me, a former Marine, blush.

Anyway, I hope that you don't let a few lusers chase you away from a
wonderful communications mode.
