So let's say I know your personal capcode - I send to you making a call up now "KF8II de KD8BXP pls call on 40meter 7.100 at 2200z"
I think that would be 100% legal. So it is all about content and not about the techonolgy of it being a oneway device
I'd agree with this logic. It is establishing a QSO, albeit on a different frequency. Similarly, a pager could be used to send signal reports, when there's only a 1 way path. For example, I can hear someone on HF, but they can't hear me, I could send a page saying "UR 5x1, can't reply, amp no go" . Now this is becoming a real time, cross band, cross mode QSO, and those ARE legal. :)
