It all depends on the other stations expectations. I, too, prefer the wider,
500 Hz, filter, as many stations call off frequency (most commonly 100-200 Hz
up, rarely down. Anyone know why that is?) I had one instance where I found a
clear spot near a band edge on 40 or 80m, about 500 Hz above a 1-land station.
He slides up and asks me to
move a bit. There's no room up, so I go down about 500 Hz from him. He didn't
like that either. While a band edge is nice, it wasn't worth fighting about,
so I went elsewhere.

This reminds me of Fred K3ZO who never had a narrow filter, except the one
between his ears. After having seen his award walls .......................
