No, I think if they would want to stay on the band,
they would narrow it down.
Its not a fixed thing, its all about audio bandwidth
(and low distortion). You just cut the high end and balance out
the lows.
Or, maybe they would occupy the ESSB window and chat about
it.
Often on 80 and 40 meters in the morning on weekends
(when I operate) the east coast is open.
40 meters can really cook with AM on 7285, 7290, and 7295,
with low power guys booming in, 25 to 50 watts carrier, not
lately, 80 seems to be more open at this point of the sunspot
cycle.
I just think the bandwidth part of it is a bogus issue, if you are
only interested in packing in QSO's, CW or digital modes is
much better than voice.
I don't give a hoot about ESSB, it still sounds much worse
than good AM, but I don't see a problem with people making it
sound a bit more pleasant to listen to while rag chewing.
I think you could communicate with a 1500 Hz bandwidth,
say 500 to 2000 Hz, maybe everyone should be restricted to that
at all times?
The typical outsider would hear that and run, asking why
ANYONE would want to listen to that noise.
