If you're getting lousy signal reports, you're probably on frequency ok. If you were off, you'd be told about it because you'd be mostly unintelligible. If you have a really low antenna, or a lot of loss in the antenna/transmission line combo, you'll get lousy reports. Also, except for one or two days recently, 10m has been pretty much a dead zone. MUF hasn't been that high.

I finally got my htx-100.It seems to tune in to the transmittinf frequency better. After a day of use I did the mic mod for higher mic gain seems to work better.
IMO, the '100 was the better rig. Its RF/AF board is similar to the HR-2510/2600, albeit with a better SSB filtering scheme.
I made a bunch of mobile contacts with my HR-series rigs throughout the late 80s into the 90s...and afterwards pressed them into service in a multiport packet radio BBS/gateway. They ran nonstop for over 10 years without a failure.

That's what made the Eico 753 so much fun. You couldn't turn off the RIT. Bigger problem than the drift.

That wasn't a "problem," it was a feature—Eico's patented Lid-O-Matic tuning!
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Was the station DX?
If so, he may have been expecting stations calling him to be furthur offset from his frequency.
(Was he operating Spread Spectrum?) ;)
