Exactly right, Vic. A dirty rig, whether generating clicks or phase
noise, is putting his trash on YOUR frequency. You are screwed by his
choice of a lousy radio. And he doesn't care. I've got a neighbor like
that.

I live in a place where there is a ham with a legal limit rig and a big
beam less than 1 km. away. Antennas are line of sight. His signal
renders about 10-20 kHz of the (CW) band unusable, with lesser effects
extending out farther. He does not have clicks; it is phase noise (or
something like that).
I have experimented with attenuators and they have NO effect on the
apparent width of his signal. Therefore I conclude that the problem is
not in my receiver (K3, not S, upgraded synthesizers).
I don't know what kind of transceiver he is using, but I think more
attention needs to be paid to transmitter cleanliness, rather than to
continue the race for dynamic range.
