[TenTec] Orion--black crepe--"This is the end my friend" etc.

Rob,

I beg to differ with you...and notice that this is a private reply. I 
have no wish to start a great debate. I believe occupying 6 khz of 
bandwidth when three is sufficient to transfer  the info is a waste. 
Having said that, I appreciate the quest for quality and the bottom line 
is, it probably makes no difference in the overall availabilty of 
spectrum for ham use, so go to it.  Of course if I follow my own line of 
reasoning SSb is not necessary either...any number of digital modes, 
including CW will transfer the info. I gave up SSB on the hf bands long 
ago because the language and other foolishness going on were offensive 
to me.    I guess that should disqualify me from making any comments 
about the mode anyhow. Feel free to ignore them. :-D .

73,

Dave, K4TO
