Bob,

On occasional travel overseas I often happen onto satellite circuits with
quirky societal behavior as you describe. Like you, my correspondents have
learned to live with half-duplex radiospeak with very happy results. I have
my wife trained so well that I can phone home with a position report from
a Paris streetside telephone and get all the data across before the first
frank has expired. Discipline, all it takes is discipline.
