One more point, now that I've had a few more minutes to think about this.

 > >>Icom rigs and sending email from the company's mail server to the 
"offending" station, being sure to mention the brand and > model of the 
Icom rig. I know this because I got one of his emails. I will not bother 
denying that the rig has clicks <<<

You're making a presumption that I have a bias against other manufacturers 
or other companies involved in the amateur radio industry - a presumption 
that is not correct.  I have a bias *for* our equipment - which is a given.

I had a nice conversation, in person, with Ray Novak - who is Icom's 
national sales manager - at the W9DXCC convention in Chicago two weeks 
ago.  I've known Ray since he was "MFJ Ray" working for Martin Jue in 
Mississippi and I was still with Ham Radio Outlet in Atlanta.  Early 
1990's.  Ray and I are both presently on the ARRL IAC as well with a number 
of other ham industry people.

I gave a presentation about the Orion and DX receiver performance at W9DXCC 
where I specifically pointed out who was doing what correctly - that 
included several references specifically about Icom and roofing filters a 
la the IC7800.  Ray was there to hear it - I'm sure you can look him up 
somewhere and ask him what I said.   There's a couple hundred other people 
that were in attendance that could tell you the same thing.

The nature of the conversation that Ray and I was both of us lamenting that 
no matter what you do in amateur radio, there is always going to be someone 
laying in wait to let you have it over the Internet.   We both shared a 
laugh over that.
