The above assumes a signal bandwidth of 2.5 kHz, which requires 
contest-grade filtering in the transmit chain. (And a calm hand on the mic 
gain and speech processor settings...)  A more conservative approach would 
be to assume a 3 kHz wide SSB signal, resulting in limits of 7.128 MHz and 
14.347 MHz in order for US hams to stay legal.

Have fun, play nice.
