Bill, I can't argue with your experience, but my experience from Massachusetts
is that loud Europeans on 80m are significantly more difficult to copy than
stations with the same signal strength on 40 meters. I also hear a noticeable
difference in the ability to copy 40m RTTY signals compared to 20M. You can
hear this with your ears, you don't need a RTTY detector to prove it to you.
