Way back when I was a rock bound novice I would know when certain others
had come on the air. I could hear their key clicks throughout the 80m
novice band. Everybody knew when I was on the air too because I was using a
modified ARC-5 with the external crystal controlled oscillator. The
oscillator could be heard in between me keying up the final. My oscillator
would be
an S7 and my keyed signal S9. I was a dead give away.

Usually the lemmings tell you you are full of it, because he "sounds fine
to me here."
When I was working on my FT1000MP with the key clicks I asked several
guys on
the air if they coould hear my clicks. No one had a clue, that they
needed to tune up
and down the band to listen for the clicks. I venture to guess that not
one ham in 100
understands this simple concept (readers of this reflector excepted, of
course).
It can be very frustrating.
