Bill,

Yes, I agree.  We had a phone station at Field Day where the operator 
used his own rig with an internal speaker (I think it was an Icom), and 
the sound was so grating to my ears that I thought about cutting his 
coax!  I don't know how the operator deciphered the calls and reports.
That is a "to be fixed" situation for next year's Field Day.

I was at the CW station where we used headphones with the internal 
speaker turned up only enough to let others nearby hear what was going 
on, and it sounded OK, but not great.  I should have brought my external 
speakers for the K3 CW station.

73,
Don W3FPR
