The number of US stations that operate outside our bands and subbands, during any contest, always amazes me.

Apparently, there are those who do don't understand a thing about SSB or CW bandwidth. Most hams consider single-sideband suppressed carrier to be about 3 kHz wide. Which isn't necessarily true while on CW bandwidth depends on rise and fall times. Your CW bandwidth can be as wide as 150 Hz and or 375 Hz depending on rise and fall times of 5 to 2 ms.


The SSB comment is only true if ones shape of the band limiting filter is sharp enough to attenuate the signal to -40 db at 3 kHz.


It's important to remember that your carrier and all of your sidebands must be confined within the amateur bands and subbands as applicable.

...along with the US stations who are calling him on freq (which at the time, was well below the US phone section of the band!)
