This is one of the problems with the so-called band-plans. Europe has one, NA has another, etc. Until such time as there is an Iternational Band Plan, they are all rather useless, and sets us up to interfere with each other. It sort of reminds me of what JA1RL told me back in the 70 at a

It sounds like we're in agreement. There is space for wider emissions on the VHF bands. 50.7 Hz is unsed here and designated for experimental use in the band plan. I participated in SSB nets and contests on 50, 144, 222, 432 and 1296 MHz when I lived in southern California and large portions of

The ARRL is publishing designs for simple phasing SSB exciters with 3-pole filters and filter-type exciters with 4-pole crystal filters so we can't count on DSP. Phasing transmitter kits have filters with at least 5-poles so they are somewhat better. These should be able to acheive 23 dB
