Totally this. A few years ago I was operating in the winter NAQP SSB
contest when I tuned across a running K9 station while I was looking for
a run frequency. The guy was about S9+10 and totally unreadable to the
point that he wasn't getting any replies at all. I called him and
explained that he needed to back down on something if he wanted to
actually make any contacts. I had him back down his drive in steps
until he was solid copy .... not audiophile, just comparable to other
signals on the band. He ended up a full 15db down from where he
originally was, and it wasn't due to QSB. Hard to believe, and I'm
pretty sure he didn't, but I swear it's true.

makes the guys that do it really hard to copy.
