Indeed. And more often than not, it's usually good, 'ole fashion

Morse/CW
which is getting through.



And just to crown their ignorarance of it all, when I found a
dead-band morning where there was group of very weak Europeans coming in
on 20 meter PSK31 that wouldn't print, but their CW ID's were completely
good copy, Carl and his little lid buddy Brain Burke accuse me of "not
being able to make PSK31 work!"
Can you believe the clowns? I had only been working PSK31 for the past
6 or 8 months!

I know, the reason for the failure of PSK31 in that case was likely
polar phase shift, but that seems to be meaningless to our technical
genius and his pals!


"Too many clowns and not enough ringmasters!"

*They're already here!"


How do you know it was polar phase shift, DICK? Did you get enough
information to see that they were transmitting from their home locations as
well? How do you know they weren't visiting somewhere? Did you get enough
copy to tell all that?
