What the hell is with this 2700 Hz bandwidth crap? I tickle the SSB exciter every now and then and I find that I don't like listening to "nasal drip" audio, even in slop-bucket mode. If these are 'guidelines' as purported last go`around, then why even mess with it? It seems that this group just wants to fart around where it doesn't need to go in order to prove their own self worth! Mod-U-Lator, Mike(y) W3SLK

The Region 2 band plan accommodates DSB AM operation. For example, if you look at the segment 7100 - 7130, you will see a asterisk by the 2700 bandwidth. Then scroll to the bottom of the entire chart to find the reference for that asterisk, which says, "DSB AM allowed in this segment with a maximum bandwidth of 6 kHz." The omission of the AM calling frequency on 80 meters was accidental and will be remedied in the revision. The Region 2 band plan is not part of the FCC's Rules and has no regulatory effect upon us in the USA. The current version does not and the revised version will not have any adverse effect upon your enjoyment of the Amateur bands using the modes you and your friends prefer. Kay N3KN - - - - - - - - I replied... - - - - - - - - Kay - Thank you for your reply. Your response doesn't really address my concerns, as I'm not calling for some sort of special "exception" for certain modes. Sounds like you've prepared well for complaints from the AM community, but I question the whole business segregation by bandwidth. How many hams do you know that can measure occupied bandwidth in their shack? Can you? Or do you rely upon the type of mode (CW, computer, voice, etc) to decide where best to operate? I'm betting that you, like 99% of hams, are not measuring their bandwidth but instead making assumptions based on modes-compatibility.
