[Elecraft] Dirty signals was: K3 and Mutek Transverter combo?

[Vic K2VCO]

I also heard a lot of rough CW signals in the VHF contest on 6 meters, but they sounded 
like the effects of propagation to me. Sometimes I heard the same station with a clean 
signal when it was coming in loudly, and a rough signal when it weakened.
These were signals from stations within the skip zone, so I think it was back scatter or a 
similar phenomenon. More distant signals propagated by E skip were clean.
