That is definitely not true. Digging weak ones out in a big contest, or with a close by ham neighbor, will tell you right away. An inferior dirty radio a few miles away driving a power amp will make your life miserable.

Exactly. Get on during CQWW. I could hear interesting transmitter widths
from people half a continent away and interesting effects in my receiver
as well (mostly noise blanker effects). I heard this all just on my
dipole with no hams close by. Actually, K7VIT is 5 miles away but I can
hardly hear him.
