Question B-008-001-005

During a club ARRL Field Day outing, reception on the 20 m SSB station is compromised every time the 20 m CW station is on the air. What might cause such interference?

Correct Answer

Receiver desensitization

Explanation

The strong signal from the nearby CW transmitter (even though on a slightly different frequency within the same band) can reduce the sensitivity of the SSB receiver, making it difficult to hear weaker signals.
