If you can borrow a Courier, it would be very interesting to see the
ATY11 line probe stats when calling Dave Drummonds immaculate line. You
MUST call another Courier tho, there is some major problem when it isnt
a USR on each end of the call, a big shift of 7db ish in the whole curve.

We went for years with a real quirk where Bill Grimsley was the only
one who ever had any real problems calling a Spirit with a V32bis
Sportster, with quite a few also calling with a V32bis Sportster roughly
daily. Once the line probe stats were available after the Spirit died, it
became dead bloody obvious why, Bills line really isnt very good at all.

Its also interesting to think back to the days when you and Dave
Drummond were having a big fight about the performance of Couriers,
with him saying that he never had any problem with incoming callers,
you had heaps. Turns out that Daves line is about the most immaculate
that we have ever seen on the line probe stats and it all starts to
fall into place why he never saw any problems with a line like that.

I wouldnt be a bit surprised if your line is a bit ropey.
