[Elecraft] K4 Field Day report

[David Gilbert]

There isn't a rig on the planet that will take out actual splatter, 
although you MIGHT be able to filter out some of it at audio depending 
upon the offender's voice characteristics.  If the trash is truly within 
your passband at RF you are going to hear it.

Most of that occurs due to sheer ignorance on the part of the operator, 
but the sad thing is that there are hams out there who will 
intentionally overdrive their rigs in order to create "elbow room" for 
themselves.  On CW they do it with fast rise times to generate key 
clicks.  I've seen posts from guys who admit doing it.
