>From the number of filthy signals that appear in contest, I'd wager that most of them are deliberately transmitted that way. They act rather like a beacon to attract the S&P guys and also are so much of a pest when chasing Dx that they are worked just to clear the frequency. I've heard the same callsigns that are T9 when not contesting or Dx chasing, but pop up in contests etc. with filthy T5 signals. It's mostly deliberate.
Personally, I'd propose that any signals of T8 and worse should be boycotted, but it would never work. 73 Dave G3TJP ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
