Do you know that for sure, Mike or is the W1AW sig so strong in your
area that it overloads your transceiver? Have you actually switched
in
an attenuator after making certain that your noise blanker is
switched
off?
Side issue here but I agree with Dave, something 'snot right in State
College. The W1AW bulletins and code practice sessions are transmitted
by big-bucks squeaky-clean commercial Harris SW transmitters. Yank the
PL-259 out of the back of yer xcvr and stuff the end of ten feet of
wire into the xcvr coax receptacle and tune around W1AW again and see
if you're still hearing spurs from W1AW. If yes your xcvr front end
probably has "issues".
