I believe there are too many "contest grade" radios and directive RX arrays out there as this happened to me many times in the CQ160. Even with my K3 on 100-200 hz BW and the "offenders" in the back lobe of the pennats they where 599, they must have amazing RX equipment to be able to not hear me! :)
