[Elecraft] Raspy sounds on 80 meters

[Steven Pituch]

Hi all,
I have been doing CW nets on 40 meters for a few weeks with a lot of
success.  I went down to 80 meters just now to try an 80 meter cw net, and I
am hearing all these NC contest stations.  One guy sounds like a buzzsaw.  I
try to tune him in but the signal quality is awlful.  So I go up 5 kHz and
find another raspy station... and another... and another.  All of 80 meters
sounds raspy, even the lsb guys.  I go to 40m and 20 meters and the signals
seem fine.  The filters seem like they are in top shape also.  The rig is a
K2(#402)/100 with KAT100 and KDSP.  Never experienced a problem until now.
Any ideas?

Steve, W2MY
