If you are getting answers to your CQ's, it can't be a big problem. Good
point, though. It's certainly preferable to have a wider clear bandwidth, but
not always possible on a crowded band.
However, when using the narrow filter adjacent to some strong stations, I am
frequently asked to QSY by one of them, even though he isn't bothering me.
The only reason I'm there, of course, is that I couldn't find a clear spot
wide enough for the 500 Hz filter. So, am I obligated to move, or not?
