In playing around with the sdr-iq, I often listen to ssb that is close to an AM
qso.
I hear it quite well on AM, yet when I go to ssb and listen to the ssb qso, I
cant hear the AM qso at all in almost all cases.
So it might not be intentional that the ssb guys get close, it may sound like a
clear frequency to them.
I don't operate ssb, but if I did, I would assume I was ok since I could not
hear the AM qso.
Looking at the waterfall display, the ssb guys often get right up against
another qso so there looks to be NO space between them, yet I don't hear any
qrm even if I open the filter up to over 3200 Hz.
I cant stand ssb, I seem to be pitch ignorant, I can tune around forever and it
never sounds natural, or I hear some guys in a group that sound somewhat
normal, and one that sounds way high, and one that sounds low....
I suppose its great for communication, but its crazy unpleasant to me.
I hear some ssb guys talk about poor AM signals, and some are really poor, I
hear unstable vfo's, excessive bandwidth and over modulation, failure to zero
beat, or even get close (that shows up very well on the sdr-iq), and sometimes
all of the above!
Many ssb guys on the air seem to be very unhappy right wing republican
intolerant type people, you are one of us doing as we do or you are one of
'THEM'...
Well, I don't mind ssb, or contests, or dx, or essb, or data modes, whatever
someone wants to do is fine with me.
I am not sure why people always worry about what someone else is doing for
fun...

Don't let the sideband drive you away. Just stay on the frequency if you are
there first. I hear this game is played on the other bands too.
And your carrier is more of a nuisance to them than their Donald Duck is to
you.

Hey everyone.
I don't mind the 7190 or the 7290/7295 too much except for the QRM! I was
having a lovely QSO with Bernie W8RPW this afternoon on 7190 and the
sidebanders suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
We were sorta discussing how the extra portion might be a nice option.
Let's face it fellas, it's NOT DIFFICULT to upgrade to Extra class nowadays.
Maybe some activity down there will provide some incentive for Generals to
upgrade. It sure is way less crowded! Just a thought!
