I have been at a station where we had parallel earphones.
Some operators were logging QSOs when the guy sitting next was hearing just
noise.

I have been logging QSOs when some others that came to the same frequency
heard just noise when I was hearing the far far away three pointers.

I was accused of running over power as I was hearing so well.
Were the guys right when they claimed I was breaking the power rule?

PS. Food for thought:
One of these incidents happened when I was running low power and the guys
accusing me of hearing so well as I was running far more than a gallon and
a half.
