This would be a general definition that perhaps not everyone could fully agree on:
Too Wide: takes up too much spectrum bandwidth for the amount of information delivered or the speed of the information's delivery. Poor or disturbed propagation constrains all of us into fewer bands for digital operations. With fewer sunspots, we all crowd the same bands which makes the "too wide" problem worse. Some modes are very narrow and are spectrum efficient but have little error correction. Others are "too wide" but have lots or error correction and are fast. As you very well know, these are the tradeoffs we all face. This definition might cause a bit of a "Food Fight" here on this reflector but hopefully . . . not.

Hi Sometimes we hear, that mode or format is "too wide". What this mean? Context - poor or disturbed propagation. Please answer. Your answer help to see how different people understand the term "too wide". http://contestia.blogspot.com/ tnx! -- vy 73, Jaak es1hj
