Sorry to say it doesnt work that way. A SSB QSO can be very disturbing to a
CW station trying to listen to a weak DX signal, to the point of completely
QRMING the frequency to non-useability. The CW operator is dependant on a
very narrow frequency spectrum, and no matter that he has or can use a CW
filter, you cannot filter out a signal that is exactly on top of your
target, and a SSB signal covers not only the exact target frequency, but
many cycles above and below that freq. Remember that a SSB signal depends
on approximatelyl 2.8 KC of bandwidth, which can cover many cw signals all
at the same time. That is the reason that CW operaters have lost big in
this recent move. We now have much less spectrum (clear of SSB) than we had
before, contrary to the much published promise that NO ONE would loose
anything in a change of rules and regulations. I would much rather loose
the ability to use CW in the SSB portion of the bands, if they left us with
the CW, RTTY. Data freqs we had before, land if DX also stayed out of that
area with their SSB transmissions.
