Yes. In every contest, there are one or two KH6s and/or JAs who have 
loud clicks at 2 kHz, while I can operate within a few hundred Hz of 
K6XX, 3.5 miles from me running 1.5 kW with a K3 and Alpha. We have 
another neighbor, newly returned to ham radio after several years 
off the air, who generates wide clicks with a new/used Icom super 
rig. We're gonna have a chat with him. :)
