The next time I hear an opera performed on the amateur bands, I'll rethink my comments. But for communications, there is really no need to use any frequency below 100Hz, even for "hifi" SSB. Notice when you listen to an opera, bass singers often lack articulation and intelligibility. There is a reason tenors get all the good parts...
