Are you sure the W1AW signal was dirty? An overloaded receiver or
soundcard
will do exaclty what you describe.

That doesn't mean it's impossible that W1AW had a problem, just that all
things
need to be checked out. Have you listened to W1AW since then?

Usually PSK and OOK Morse get along just fine.

Depends on who's doing what. 3579 used to be a popular "glowbug" frequency
for
Morse folks using simple rigs and a colorburst crystal. Then the freq was
taken
over by PSK-31 due to the popularity of the "Warbler".

My point is that by coming out with a ratty signal, W1AW was doing
what so many hams were complaining about K1MAN does. Fire it up, and too
bad
for the rest of you.

W1AW transmits bulletins and code practice on a published schedule, and is
on
every HF amateur band simultaneously. Been doing that for almost 70 years
now.
However, the signal should be clean.

Didja email them? Even that "professional" Harris stuff can go wacko.

I agree with Jim. If their signal had a problem, I'm sure that they would
want to know so email them about it.
