Re: Wide signals today

Mike:
Used to do that as an OO, but the results were everything from indifference to threats. I gave up on emailing people. Caught one ham I knew personally splattering all over … 50 kHz. Either side of primary frequency … and he fixed it, but the next day he was back offending as usual; this was after a personal phone call !
I would never ID a station as being wide, but I will say that most are relative newbies to PSK and that it’s probably ignorance rather than deliberate intention.

Jerry,
You could always try looking up call signs for the offenders in QRZ.com and sending them a private, polite e-mail to advise them of the problem. I know I appreciate it if someone tells me my signal is causing problems. You can’t see your own signal.
I also try to give an honest RSQ rather than a courtesy 599. That third digit describes visible pairs, and if it’s less than a 9, you can work with the other station to try to correct the problem - less transmit power, less audio gain, whatever.
