Or, to take it to its [il]logical extreme, make the maximum bandwidth 31 Hz. and outlaw everything except PSK31. Maybe JT2 would be even better... That "rule" would need as much interpretation as the one about power. You could communicate worldwide on a couple of watts *IF* you picked the proper mode and were willing to wait a few years for the right number of sunspots. The hardest word to define in law is the word "reasonable". BTW, what is the necessary bandwidth for an RTTY Contest? <grin, duck> -- Dave Sparks AF6AS
