When Don wrote the paragraph quoted below, I started to think why I would want to use one of these modes. AM doesn't seem very likely except as a demo. But ESSB might be useful to transmit a wide-band, high bit rate digital mode via a computer sound card. Those sound cards have at least 15KHz

I am digging to the bottom of the barrel for reasons to have a broad transmit bandwidth. I don't think the high speed digital mode I'm thinking about has yet been invented, but one of the purposes of amateur radio is to expriment with new modes. I see such a mode as being useful for meteor
