[..] Over the following week I collected an OO card and a few FYI

being copied in the low end of the SSB 80m band.
Any actual complaints?
A neighbor about 15 miles away is an active contester, as am I. It is
not unusual to hear his second harmonic loud enough (S6 or louder) to
make me stop on his signal when looking for someone to work. In past
years that neighbor had a LOT of IMD on his signal (splatter and clicks)
that made him a very bad neighbor. It was common for him to chew up 10
kHz of a band on CW! In the last year or so, he's cleaned up a LOT. By
contrast, K6XX, only 3 miles away, is only 600 Hz wide, 70 dB down!
