Hi Bob,
That almost has to be your set up (which radio?) to see so many issues;
over driven rx signal and/or audio levels, and/or the NB on with a harsh
setting.
I watched a little on HF over FD and didn't see any issues other than
crowding more than usual (40 looked like 20). There is the occasional
errant user but they don't make contacts either, thankfully so they
don't hang out long.

I operated FD from here at the house this weekend. Most all of my FT-8
contacts were on 6M.
I was appalled at the poor quality of many signals. Many show spurious
every 1 kHz to 2 kHz either side of their primary signal. Several were
noted to be bands of noise on the order of 2 kHz to 3 kHz wide. What
gives with hams and their pride for good quality signals? Bottom
line......this is poor operating and technical practice. Just because
it was Field Day, that is no excuse either. Have the masses digressed
to this level of non technical expertise? It sure seems so.
Then I was off to 80M and 40M for a few FT-8 contacts. No different.
WOW! This is all very disappointing.
