May I echo Ward's comment, in my case with regard to the high bands? 
One station Sunday afternoon could be heard over at least 50KHz worth of
20 meters.  Nobody else was that bad but 15-20KHz was not unusual!  
 
It's bad enough for someone to wrongly accuse contesters of being too
wide.  It's worse when they're right...
