The TO7A discussion is great, maybe the first time ever that log "details" and actual callsigns are posted in a thread like this. The easy way to not worry about any of this is to just enter SOABHP(A

Once again, the problem is not generally that one cannot read the bad signal, especially on CW. The problem is that you can read them somewhere (like a Khz away) that you should not be able to read t
