Check out this really cool site:
http://hem.passagen.se/sm0dtk/
Apparently, SM0DTK recorded various signals heard in the 10m contest from
the U.S. and has placed them on the web.
Click on the "signals" button then click on the station you want to hear.

One thing to note about signals that are dirty or splatter. Even if it does
clear a big frequency, it may not do any good. I am one who will NOT call a
station with a bad signal. I do not like SSB, and only operated SSB in the
10M contest because I wanted to hit a pre-determined score and needed the
mults.
I am quite sure that many casual contesters will not bother to call a person
with a bad signal. I know there were several high power stations on in the
contest who I could not even pick out their calls their signals were so
dirty. They were 20 db over S9, but I couldn't understand a word they were
saying. I passed them up. Went on the stations with the good audio.
Rewarding them for their fine achievement!
