Big signal slope - normal?

This isn't a problem, just a question.  Turned on the 6700 just now, and this signal immediately caught my attention.  It's just when this one guy transmits that I see a huge slope off of his signal.  Is this normal?  He sounds fine.

    I listen around that frequency every night, and the same guy always has that slope.

    Not normal. That looks like they are running a really poorly performing amp (splatter).  Opposite sideband suppression is HORRIBLE!  Where is an OO with a panadapter when you need one.

    lol, yeah I sorta figured it was very bad splatter, but I didn't think splatter could be *that* bad. ;-)  I need to make that my new profile pic.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
