It should be that way. But ROS has insignificant spreading when compared 
to what has become publicly known about SS (i.e., 802.11).

JT65A is MFSK with a heavy block coding scheme and high redundancy. It 
is NOT spread spectrum.

Yes, it is NOT SS and occupies some 170 Hz. It is WELL DOCUMENTED by Dr. 
Joseph Taylor, K1JT, a Nobel Prize Laureate and Princeton Professor.

Apples and oranges.  ROS does not quite reach the level of 
sophistication of WSJT, within the bounds allowed to hams in the US.

Certainly not. ROS is a baby compared to JT65 robustness.

Ideally, SS should be of infinite bandwidth, which is not viable in 
practice. As you reduce it to a practical, allowable level, its "magic 
properties"
lose strenght, be it direct sequence or frequency hopping. 
Theoretically, FH should have a very small dwell time, but then again, 
to contain at least 90% of the spread message sidebands in a 3 kHz 
bandwidth makes it "not undescernible from noise".
