Only the ARRL technical staff has ruled it to be spread spectrum and therefore not legal on HF under FCC jurisdiction. However, the FCC itself has not ruled yet, so it may still be found to be legal. We will not know until the FCC issues an opinion. My personal guess is that they will say it

Next step is to formally petition the FCC to allow SS if the bandwidth does not exceed 3000 Hz, or the width of a SSB phone signal. Mark Miller, N5RFX, has experience in submitting petitions to the FCC, and had one granted. In case anyone wishes to pursue this further, he may be able to
