Will be interesting to see where in the results these filthy signals I
recorded end up.

I suggest that all this talk about excessive bandwidth
will remain just so much hot air until and unless contest
sponsors define what they mean by "excessive bandwidth" -
with parameters such as maximum width at, say, 40db down
for both CW and SSB.

CQWW was the first major contest to introduce an
"excessive bandwidth" rule, backed up (as claimed)
by a worldwide network of SDRs and digital recorders
- three years ago or so.  However, the rules make no
attempt to define excessive bandwidth, and I'm not
aware of any penalties having been imposed for this
reason alone.  If I'm wrong, I'd be happy to be
corrected.
