Topband: Coping with Noise

[Gedking at aol.com]

The problem has many names
1. splatter
2. key clicks
3 broad signal
4. Hard keying
 Ahh that is the problem. Hmmm what is hard keying. Well it is when a  
station is sending a CW Square  wave. Now what is a square wave My trusty  OLD radio 
Manual says. "It is an infinite  number of Odd Harmonics. These  harmonics 
make the signal wide.
Gee why would anybody want a wide signal?. Well I would guess to kee other  
stations away so they would have a clear frequency??
 
Anybody else have an answer??
