Boy has this turned into a rats nest of smart answers. I use an Autek QF-1A
filter cranked in real tight and the SSB is so well cleaned up I still can
copy most CW signals through it. I'm sure that the newer DSP rigs do a much
better job but are out of my price reach. Good luck and may CW live
forever.

How are the rest of the CW operators dealing with all the SSB that is
showing up in the 40 meter CW portion of the band?

Here it is the weekend and there's some contest going on and there is more
SSB in the CW portion of the band then there is SSB in the SSB portion of
the band. What gives with this?

On HF I'm a 99% CW operator, only been licensed about a year and love CW,
don't care much for SSB. But I'm starting to wonder why I paid $1800 for
a Yaesu FT-1000Mk V Field as it looks like I won't be able to use it for
what I bought it for this weekend...

Help
