A typical CW guy will hear FT8 or JT65 as a kinda whiny wobbly intermittent
carrier. And will probably think it’s just some neighborhood switching power
supply noise. He won’t CQ right on top of it (because he wants to hear a DX
respondent) but he will have no problem firing up 500 Hz away.
But the digital guys e.g. FT8 have 2khz wide filters. So there is a fundamental
assymetry here.
