Thats funny but true!
90% of my ham lifetime was with an old Drake TR-4, no CW filter, so was
always listening at like 3Kc wide. when I first sat down at a field day
station with a 500 or 250 filter set i felt like I was in a tunnel and
can't hear anything, I was able to switch it to a wider filter and run
great, the owner thought i was nuts how can you hear with all those
signals in the passband. I would say what other signals?
