Now THAT is funny! But it also has some unfortunate truth.

Looks legal to me.  Less than 2.8 kHz ;-) 8-)

Lest anyone doubt the problems with AFSK and users who follow the
"all knobs to the right" doctrine take a look at the spectrum of
one lid on WSJT : http://www.w4tv.com/HI8XXX.jpg.

The user is running a tone frequency around 380 Hz and so badly over
driving the mic preamp in his rig that one can see at least *seven*
harmonics of the fundamental stretching to over 3 KHz where the TX
filter finally rolls off - a later observation showed harmonics out
to the *ninth* at over 3500 Hz.  This idiot destroyed a very good six
meter opening for most of the eastern half of the US as he was the
only signal anyone could copy in those minutes he transmitted - the
only stations worked anyone were those who worked him.

Any doubt about the destructive power of AFSK in the hands of a lid?
FSK on some transmitters may be a bit "wide" but it's not going to
ruin an entire band.
