You sure? They can transmit all they like. Given the poor Rx success  
rate, they aren't going to cause a whole lot of problems if they  
aren't heard by anyone.

Australia is different to elsewhere most that space has nobody in it.

I wonder how many times you have seen 70 HF stations on APRS at once,  
let alone in one iGate's coverage area.
