[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Report

[Wes]

I have a couple of contesters within a few miles of me who were obliterating 
many kHz of the 160 band in this week's  CQ CW contest.  One has a Yaesu 1000D 
with 5+ kHz of phase noise, the other has a 1000MP with discrete spurs over at 
least 10 kHz.  Of course they both run big amps.  Another guy 50 miles away 
looked like he was sending MCW.  If the photo of his shack on QRZ is to be 
believed, he's running an Omni6 + amp.
