Re: [DX-CHAT] KG44WW

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
