[Elecraft] FCC 60m Band Change Rules Published InFederalRegister On 03 February 2012 - Correction

[Brian Alsop]

Who is the referee determining the channel is empty?  Propagation being 
what it is, two stations may have QSO's going on and none of the group 
of 4 thinks hears the other pair.  Another observer might hear both 
QSO's at the same time.  Thus a violation has occurred.

There is no avoiding multiple QSO's/channel CW,PHONE or PSK.
