If you know you're SOC... are you really SOC?

Vann,

You've missed the point here.  You made a QSO.  Actually, you made 
several.  Be veeeerrry careful, you could outdistance the SOC "maximum 
standards."

Welcome!  We thrive on our failures, misteaks, and occasional attempts 
at competence.  Don't worry about your equipment, antennas, filters, or 
proximity of the fridge to your rig.  Once SOC, always SOC.
