Sean is correct, and that has limited some modes such as Q25, 141A, Olivia 2000, RFSM8000, Pactor3 And others.
Canadian hams are governed by bandwidth rather than mode, so the original thinking was to make 30M very narrow so that SSB or digital voice could not be used on this band. However we do not have any power restrictions on 30M On all other bands under 30mhz, VE's can operate up to 6khz bandwidth and full legal power.

In Canada we are limited to 1000Hz bandwidth between 10.1 and 10.150MHz, as per RBR-4. However, we are primary users of 30m and are allowed 1000W, if I read the regs right. -- Sean - VA5LF Rick W wrote: > > > Q15X25 and other wide modes (voice communications bandwidth) are legal > here in the U.S., and if operated 10.140 to 10.150, also meet the IARU > Region 2 Band Plan recommendations (maximum 2700 Hz). > > I am currently in contact with my wife for a couple of hours on HF (3620 > LSB phone) as she travels north of me a 100 or so miles, so maybe after > 1800 or 1900Z things might be better.
