Not sure if it was you and I cant even remember what band 40 I think,
but during the contest I did run across what appeared to be a rather
wide ssb signal typical of ESSB, rag chewing The audio was great
sounding a little reminiscent of some the AM nets on 40m I would
think that it would have less punch or diluted as you well describe it
but would be much better sounding for rag chew. I find that some ops
in a contest narrow with EQ the bandwidth of their signal to give them
punch but in doing so they are louder but harder to understand so I
don't really see the advantage.

Experimented yesterday for a few minutes with ESSB (carefully avoiding weekend
contesters), and it raised a fundamental question: As bandwidth is broadened,
is effective radiated power diluted? In other words, will 500 watts with a
2.6MHz signal be more effective (stronger, punchier, more DBs transmitted) than
500 watts with a 4MHz ESSB signal?
