Doug, It's been a long time since I was on EME and time has marched on to where the current ops are using digital modes to pull signals from below the noise and calling them "contacts". But when we actually listened for signals, hours were spent listening to noise and I can assure you that distortion, artifacts and whatever else you want to call stuff that shouldn't be there all contributed to fatigue and the ear-brain's ability to discern signals.
