It says, "...for the information rate and emission type..." The
emission type is AM and I see no bandwidth problem...what ever it is!
It's an AMATEUR mode in a HOBBY service. Let's all have fun out there!

He then cites §97.307 of the FCC rules that states "No amateur station
transmission shall occupy more bandwidth than necessary for the
information
rate and emission type being transmitted, in accordance with good
amateur
practice." Since voice is what is being transmitted, he suggests that
the
rules require AM to occupy a bandwidth of "no more than about 6 kHz".
