Back some 4-5 years ago, I helped to man the 40-meter CW tent at a local
club's Field Day effort...
Not having taken part in FD for several years, I expected the usual
cacaphony (sp?) of inter-mod / "phantom" CW signals / blocking / ad nauseam
that one usually encounters whenever several stations are crowded in close
to one another like this. I was floored by the absolute immunity to such
ills that the Elecraft rig we were using displayed!
Midway through my shift, I subbed-in my venerable Icom 751A for a "run"...it
was removed from service post haste by yours truly, bearing a red face ---
the difference in the performance of these two rigs truly had to be heard to
be believed.
I'd always considered the Elecraft to be some marginal, QRP-fringe outfit,
until I was shown otherwise that day!
