Well Duane, I guess maybe it would be a matter of opinion.  Listening here
on my 
Omni V, I have a birdie at 28024.43 and it goes to 28024.48  as you can
see, it is
extreamly narrow in signal. And it is not strong enough to move my s-meter.
If anyone had a signal at all, I would be able to make qso/break pileup/
carry on.
I think your friend made a mountain out of a mole hill.
