[Amps] Re: Audio BW -- Please just let us operate!!

[Bill Fuqua]

Well, That brings up a thought. Here in the US we can't hear all the US 
stations at once due to the fact that many are in our skip zone.  But  how 
does it sound to the DX stations that are receiving a good portion  US at 
one time.
Can any of you on the other side of Atlantic or Pacific answer this 
question? Do the ham bands sound crowded by US operators?
