Hell if you wanna go that far I can hear and understand SSB as long as things are lined up properly at 1.5Khz. Its fairly common during field day that I'll use 1.5 to 1.7 Khz. Why are so many people wasting bandwidth transmitting any wider than that?
One could also argue that ESSB is an emission type that requires that additional bandwidth in order to move all the data. AM uses a lot of bandwidth to get the data across and that is a perfectly legal and allowed emission type. Personally I don't do ESSB and don't even have the filters to do so. But using this set of rules to state that you shouldn't do ESSB is the same as saying that no one should use SSB because they could carry out the communications via CW in less bandwidth. ~BTH -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of John Payne Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 7:15 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] ESSB and the rules N2DTS: "I don't understand why some people like to limit other peoplesactivity, or choices." Excerpted from FCC rules Part 97: ยง97.307 Emission standards. (a) No amateur station transmission shall occupy more bandwidth than necessary for the information rate and emission type being transmitted, in accordance with good amateur practice. (b) Emissions resulting from modulation must be confined to the band or segment available to the control operator. Emissions outside the necessary bandwidth must not cause splatter or keyclick interference to operations on adjacent frequencies. It's the law!! Minimum practical bandwidth, no splatter, no spurs. FCC can and will cite stations for violations. 73 de W4CWZ -- "The real proof that there is intelligent life in outer space is that they haven't come here." ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
