SSB is a orm of amplitude modulation. I think a large threat comes both from SSB and from the DIGITAL ops running certain modes. The majority of the digital ops are a good bunch and they respect the phone and AM mode phone ops.
However, some of the proponents of PACKET on HF are very well connected politically and financially and they are exerting al ot of control ove rthe ARRL leadership now, and they even want to make all of HF digital including the voice functions, so they are a threat to both SSB and AM modes. A far greater threat, believe me, than the proponents of hi-fi SSB which is perfectly legal.
