"ARRL Lab engineers are not active in contesting,..."
Meh. Suggesting the ARRL Lab is ignorant about real world contesting is incredible. They are plenty smart, have their own stations, and do NOT live in a technological vacuum. If it was a problem, they would know it.
"It is THEIR DATA, not mine."
Exactly. You concede my point. You present no evidence or proof of your own, and concede the available data fails to prove the problem.
"Yaesu rigs used to be pretty clean on SSB;
current vintage Yaesu rigs are VERY dirty ...
occupying three times the bandwidth of a clean
SSB signal"
Pshaw. You exaggerate. Three times normal bandwidth is more than 8.5 MHz. If ALL Yaesu signals really are that wide, everyone would know it, and even the least expensive SDR dongle would easily show it. The boys in the ARRL Lab would be well aware of it, and besides, it makes no sense to say "current vintage" - as "current" and "vintage" are essentially opposites.
Bottom line: I gave you the home run pitch, challenging you to proffer hard evidence of your unsubstantiated, anecdotal claim. Instead, your generalizing rebuttal and brandishing credentials is weak as water.
AS for MY experience, while I am not an engineer, I am reasonably well informed and made my millions cross-examining self-proclaimed experts lacking sufficient evidence.
As this is clearly OT, I will retire before wearing out my welcome, especially considering you have made my point for me!
Happy days, and good DX to all. K8JHR
