Well I must admit that I believe there is a place for wideband voice 
modes, either SSB, DSB or AM on the HF bands. I would hope that people 
who modify their radios  to operate this way don't use them when the 
band is crowded. Either stay off the air in those conditions or have 
another radio that is narrow band voice grade for crowded conditons. If 
you want wideband SSB, why not use a phasing type exciter like a Central 
electronics 10B or 20A. How about independant sideband stereo?

I don't think we should have a FCC rule about it. We should just be 
considerate in our operating. 73 N6KB
