Now there's an asinine response! Nowhere does Glen's post indicate he 
"deliberately interfered" with SSB. I saw it as information that a skilled 
operator can cope with the rude interference of our neighbors both to the North 
and South, when the choose to plunk down their SSB on top of CW.

The only difficulty copying through strong SSB is if one insists on depending on 
a receiver's AGC to do the work. Shut off the AGC and use the RF gain control as 
we did years ago.

Oh, and before accusing someone of "deliberate QRM" try READING the post first.
