I have never understood thought process behind not publicly "outing" the
offenders. Most of them know they have crappy or very wide audio. They
do it on purpose.
The best medicine would to pass these lousy signals by but people won't
because they have to have that one contact, at least tell them their
audio is lousy and you hope that nobody reports them, ahem.....

But seriously, folks, can you imagine the mess that would result if
the same phone ops who "amuse" us with their lousy audio added either
subaudible tones or 100 wpm CW to their awful signals.
I'm waiting with interest to see whether CQWW follows through on rule
XII (A) (5) and disciplines at least a few stations for
excessivebandwidth. I'm not interested in outing a list of those
disciplined, necessarily, but I hope at least the number of actions
taken is made public, so that people know the committee is serious.
With the tools now available, in particular whole contest recordings
and SDR panadaptors, it should be possible to objectively define
excessive bandwidth (e.g., level in dB relative to peak amplitude,
versus frequency difference).

Ämne: Suggestion for Cabrillo -- and the phone skimmer, new idea
Rarely do one's wishes be fulfilled so soon, even retroactively!
Goran/SM0DRD, who thinks that hte subaudible tones that someone
mentioned
would be a great step towards a quick realization of the phone
skimmer. But
even better would be *** combining cw and SSB into one signal ***
The cw
could be sent at 100 or something wpm like a rattle, just as with those
obsolete spy transmissions. It won't disturb the audio since there is so
much overdrive noise already, and can then be detected easily by a new
version of the cw skimmer.
But what's more, we could halve the number of contests!!! Save countless
$$'s and marriages. And for die-hard cw only people, the number of
contacts
will increase and the extra transmitted phone messages can be
automatically
generated.
