That had occurred to me, too.

But what do we do with people who are running FSK rigs?  Not all TU and 
TNCs can change shifts just like that either.

Selective fading signals could be harder to copy too, with the narrower 
shift.

And, we can just about forget about running the High Speed RTTY 
contest, unless people want to do that in the 3 kHz segments.
