There's a pretty regular cycle. On Tuesday nights (0000Z Wednesday morning)
when the new group of states/territories/districts are activated, demand is very
high and split operation
is the only thing that makes sense. Later in the week as demand lessens, going
to simplex and even having a bit of chit-chat is very possible.
Given this regular cycle I think there's plenty of room for both types of
operators.
