Everybody needs to realize a little math here.
In the last 2 hours there were 488 PSK reports showing on pskreporter.Compare
that to 516,312 FT8 reports.
516,312/488 = 1058 times more.
Now...let's say the odds of finding a bad actor in all those PSK reports is
1-in-488 over that 2 hour period. Probably a conservative estimate of the # of
ops who are operating too much power and causing intermod and
harmonics....though you may not see them since PSK sensitivity is notably less
than FT8 plus we're only talking 1 observed problem in 2 hours.
1-in-488 PSK would mean over 1,000 in FT8 (500 per hour, 8 per minute). So the
odds of seeing a problem child is greatly enhanced by the simple popularity and
operating sequence of the mode.
If the ARRL gets 15M, 40M, and 80M opened up to techncians this will only get
worse.
