How much FM would make an SBE "illegal?" I didn't know there was a specific livel at which the signal becomes illegal. A lot of silly OOs assume that a chirping CW signal or one with a little buzz, yoop or drift to it is illegal. I don't think it's illegal to chirp or FM just a little! Gives a signal "character", like a Southlake Swing on a bug key (or whatever they used to call that.) but I digress...
