You called me on my CQ here:
K9YC 19-Dec-10 0233Z 1.821 160M CW 599 599
So the answer would be: I heard you at that time, and also later when you
showed up on my Frequency.

As It can be seen below I was moving down the band until I came to a clear
frequency on 1.811 (1.81090 to be exact), I asked QRL?, (pause) QRL? AC6DD,
when there was no reply I started calling CQ. The frequency was clear, with a
500 Hz filter there was no sign of you being around.

After I was on this frequency for about 15 minutes you showed up with your
anonymous "Bad Key Clicks QSY"

So your response to that is to move 250 Hz up (as you claim - I don't know
where you were), and start calling CQ on my Frequency, and deliberately start
interfering?

If in fact I was interfering with your reception, where were you for 15
minutes? SO2R?
And No, I would not put up with it, just like I did not put up with you moving
onto my Frequency.

Yes, you did. You were calling CQ on my Frequency for over 30 minutes.

I am happy for them, I am sure they are thilled to know you Santa Cruz Jim.

At the contrary.
Since you are the one making the accusations about my dirty signal, and
according to you I am in your log at least half a dozen times, and we worked on
that same day
only a few hours earlier, but you never bothered to mention a dirty signal once
before, you need to provide some evidence to back up your claims.
Include with your results at the minimum: your test methods, equipment used,
and how you quantify measurement uncertainties from a crowded band and changing
weather conditions.
Meanwhile, you could stop Policing the Bands (you can see see a few of your
posts below which I found by Goggling K9YC + key clicks),
>Top class contesters understand this -- I can work within a few hundred

and return to riding on your friends coattails.

And I strongly DISAGREE with Ron's statement that clicks are an essential
part of CW. Clicks are a function of a FAST RISE TIME and DISTORTION, not
keying speed. There's a KH6 contester who moved from K4 with a monster
signal, monster clicks, monster SSB splatter, and monster attitude to go
with it. I've told him about his clicks and splatter several times, but
the clicks, splatter, and attitude are still there.

A VERY well known contester and K3 user lives about 15 miles from me.
His clicks and splatter make life miserable for several of his neighbors
including K6RB, K6XX, and me. He's otherwise a nice guy and a member of
our club, but he's long been in denial about the trash on his signal. It
IS better since he converted to K3s a couple of years ago, but his
splatter was 10 kHz wide during SS. Another guy, a casual operator and
sometimes contester, runs a high priced ICOM rig into a high priced
auto-tune power amp. He's also a click generator.

Yesterday on 20M during the NEQP, K2LE was only S9 here, but making
clicks. When I told him so, his response was that he'd been using that
radio for 10 years. I guess that made it OK.
