That could certainly be a problem with lousy rigs, but  not with GOOD 
rigs and power amps that have decent harmonic filtering built into their 
output stages.  Think about it -- there are thousands of tri-banders 
around, but it's unusual to hear STRONG harmonics on 10M from stations 
operating on 20M.
