[UK-CONTEST] Frequency Fight Runs To Extra Time.

[David G3YYD]

You do not need a display device yourself. Go and find a websdr via your 
search engine and look at your own signal on the band and compare it to 
others.  Then when you find some one with a wide signal on the bands 
point them to the the SDR and ask them to look at their own signal and 
compare it with narrower signals. Seeing just may help them to believe 
what others are telling them. Whether they can fix it is another story.

If I hear a wide signal I normally tell them after the event by email. 
Email addresses can often be found on qrz.com or via a search engine. If 
multiple stations email the recipient is going to really believe they 
have a wide signal.

For 80m you may like to try this one     http://lindsey.esrac.ele.tue.nl/

PS you have checked your own signal width?
