I knew you'd agree with me.

I just happen to agree with Hans' plan. Allow the amateur to
distinguish him or herself through actions rather than an FCC forced
march.

While I agree on the generality of that, such is impossible under
the present-day Class Distinction Rules of US amateur radio.

ALL perceived expertise is judged by the "amateur community"
as demonstrated by the fancy-bordered license (suitable for
framing) from the federal government.

The Amateur Extra is the epitome of excellence. Once achieved,
nothing else need be learned. Education ends. You have been
told by his Most High Excellency, the Dill Instructor.

All learning comes through having tiers and tiers of classes, of
distinctions (enforced by law) right along with the social need of
call letters written behind the name to signify a "title" all may see
(and admire, respect) as if it is a dukedom, barony, or other
noble rank. That is VERY IMPORTANT. Do not criticize any
statements of the ruling classes of the "community."

US amateur radio seems to have ceased being a hobby, an
avocational activity done for personal recreation. It has become a
LIFESTYLE...a True Belief.

And poor Mike is getting beat up for saying the W1AW signal was too wide.

It has to be me! 8^)

I've done enough post testing on this to be pretty sure that it isn't
me though.

The Waterfall screen in Digipan functions pretty nicely as a poor man's
analyzer. The signal was putting "crap" all over the place.

I wasn't the only person who noticed the problem.

I was not able to duplicate anything like the problem with the RTTY
contest, which had many strong signals, and should have been worse if my
reciever was overloading. I'm impressed with how nicely the old 745
performs.

The problem - whatever it was - was in the W1AW signal.
