Thirty seconds after the contest started I was in shock..Five other operators, all in the same small room shouting their heads off. Transmitting CQ and callsign, and hearing the same said by others, albeit not quite in sync is quite off-putting !
That fact they are GOOD OPERATORS was shown in the results table when it was published. They managed just fine. The Heil headsets were about as good as a "Chocolate Fire Guard", however eventually my brain started filtering out the background noise. 73 Stewart G3RXQ ++++++++++++++++++++++ The fact is the QRM is in the shack!! Now picture this: 5 guys all in a room with K3s and DVR active. All audio optimized for best transmitter performance and "full quieting" while the contesters concentrate on listening. We shall be so lucky!!!
