I sort of thought I was the only one who noticed this. Weak stations in
Missouri don't generate pileups, so I encounter this only in certain
situations when a lot of U.S. stations are trying to work a DX station  on
or around his frequency.  Recently there have been quite a few situations
when the DX station is about 1 s-unit stronger than the callers, but even
so it the mush makes it hard or impossible to tell who he's answering. I've
found it frustrating because it's happened with A52PP and XW3DT, important
DX that is rarely heard in this part of the country. Because it happens
only occasionally, I didn't consider Fred's diagnosis of the problem; I
just figured it was one of the travails of our mortal existence. But those
contesters who encounter it over and over are in a much better position to
judge. I would love it if the K3's performance in this situation could
magically ameliorate the problem.
