True, but  DSB AM rig  modulated with 300 to 3k audio certainly won't 
fit into a 2700 Hz segment of the band -that's the problem.

All true, Bob.

But many of us enjoy listening to, and transmitting, full-fidelity
audio. The human voice DOES sound better (to our ears, at least) when 
we
do this. And if there is room on the band when we choose to operate, 
why
the heck shouldn't we?
