[TenTec] Working DX

[Ken Brown]

Hi Martin and group,

I am not advocating overprocessed SSB, in fact I don't advocate phone 
operation at all, especially for DXing and contesting. However the phone 
signal that sounds "cleanest and clearest" is likely the one with just 
the right amount of properly done processing, more likely than one with 
no processing at all. When some is good, more is not always better. This 
is especially true with compression or clipping.
