[Elecraft] tone

2004-08-15 Thread Indy
Does anyone else notice that many CW signals these days are somewhat less
than T9.  I was beginning to believe it was to do with the DSP but a tune
up the band would find another similarly strong signal singing pure.  

Yes, I am currently working the WAE contest and hearing a fair number of T6 
signals. Dunno if it is on purpose or accidental. Some contesters/DXers seem 
to want their signal to stand out, even if their tone stinks. I think they're 
misguided, 
but what do I know?

this tone question may not be the transmitter in many cases.  I was listeing to 
WAE last night and noticed not just Europeans, but U.S. signals, but from the 
north, had odd tones.  some were from stations I know who have 
clean-as-a-whistle signals.  I think there was aurora even if not enough to see.

I heard on local stations that I am sure were ground wave and strong. I also 
heard it on skip that was stable and VERY unlikely to have been 
affected by auroral activity.
