Yes John and you will lose the contest if you do that!
You need to be running a couple of QSO's per minute if you want to place
high. The leaders are running 3 or 4 QSOs per minute and peaking as many as
8 QSOs per minute. No time for turning anything! The RX has to perform as
is.
And by the way, the other side is usually more crowded than the side you
started with ;-)
If you're not a contester, of course, it's a totally different story.
Auf Wiedersehen,
Rick

Lets not forget that if the strong signal is on one side you can sneak
up on him using pass band tuning and the very sharp skirt of the 1 kHz.
filter combined with the DSP filter with the optimal bandwidth.
Then you can put the strong signal way down while still hearing your
desired weak signal.
Now if there are strong signals within 500 Hz. on both sides and 90 db
attenuation of the DSP set at 200 Hz. bandwidth is not good enough, then
buy the narrower filter.
