[TenTec] Headphone alarmists

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

How many times have you heard one give a signal report of 59 or such then 
followed by "can you repeat your name and QTH"?  Now looking at that analogy 
of that report, the 5 = Perfectly readable, and 9 = Extremely strong 
signals.  From that we must deduct that the transmitting station's audio was 
terrible or the receiving station operator was indeed deaf from using 
headphones for years.
