Yep, I remember a certain net control op claiming to put his rig into "war" mode during a weekly Sunday net when competing with the incessant "seeque keyontest" encroachment.
He was running a grid driven 4CX-1000A . All he had to do was drive it so a few milliamps of grid current showed and like magic, the frequency was clear. This was the "street-sweeper" * of radio set-ups and pretty guaranteed a QRM free frequency for the net. Not sayin' I condone such antics, but it WAS effective. 73, Charlie k3ICH * Street-Sweeper, a rotary magazine 12 shot, 12 Ga semi-automatic shotgun. Sorta looks like fat version of the popular Thompson machine gun. Yes, I understand completely. From a "Real World Practical" standpoint, if I have a really clean transmitter with lovely IMD specifications and I stuff over compressed, highly processed, all compressor-limiter knobs to the right audio into it I will get completely unintelligible audio with wonderful technical specifications and still bother my neighbors. And don't forget. Some contesters *WANT* the scenario you described above. No sense in sweeping that under the rug! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
