Hey Jeff,
If you have the time tell the guy! Don't just send him a report that
he probably will hear as 599 no matter what you send.
I lost nearly two years of serious contesting because of a messed up
TS-950SDX . Only one op told me how rotten it sounded and Kenwood
denied (on five trips to their shop) that anything was wrong. It took
a tape recording of my sig to convince 'em that the rig was screwed
up. Your comments might not lead to the offender QRTing immediately,
but they might help him solve the problem in the long run.
