This has been true forever, not just with PSK31, and this is why 
narrowband receivers were invented in the first place. PSK31 is a very 
narrowband mode so why not receive accordingly? Narrow your RX bandwidth 
down to 100 Hz or so and the problem goes away and everyone can run 
whatever power they like.
