I don't have a technical background to explain it or even understand it, but there are plenty of days when a signal of S7 will be solid copy..and other days when it will not. Part of the problem is that at 300 baud the bit length is only 3.3 milliseconds. You can have multipath echoes that smear the short bits even when signals are strong. (That's one reason why 110 baud ASCII never caught on with hams, and even 75 baud Baudot can be dicey.)
