What the hell is the need for wideband data in the amateur radio bands? Is
it just a ploy to  usurp the amateur bands for commercial purposes? And
there's a heck of a lot more band width available at VHF and UHF!  Why
wideband at HF?? Makes no sense to me!

I'm sure there are some military/commercial systems that will do it
but I don't believe that even the Flex are clean enough to handle
the really wide band commercial data modulations.
