[TenTec] Omni VII Filters

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Barry, I agree on the SSB point, but this thread was about James wanting to start working CW contests.

As I keep bringing up, the problem with SSB is no longer our receivers, it's our transmitters.

("our" does not necessarily mean Ten-Tec, though Ten-Tec has nothing to write home about).

Yes, if the mode is CW.  Not if the mode is SSB because SSB signals (ESPECIALLY during contests) are wide.  If you're competing in a SSB contest, it doesn't much matter what you use for a receiver as long as it's not a TOTAL piece of crap.  Your ultimate performance is not receiver limited.  It's a whole different ballgame with CW.
