[Elecraft] Recommended AGC settings for separation of signalsin CW pile-ups

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I believe the parameters were that people hearing a diff at 3 dB were
the first statistically significant group, and half/most at 6 dB.  And
this was a defined task without distractions.  Would guess that same
on a noisy 160m is more difficult, yes.
