   No, would you like to have your audio bandwidth out to 5 kc?  Have a signal 10 kc wide? *
even with the rule:
<
Part 97 : Sec. 97.307 Emission standards
(a) 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.

   If you want REAL fidelity, try FM, see you on 29+ MHz.  (or 2 meters)

* if the next CARRIER (QSO) is 5 kc away the two sidebands will over lap and you will hear each 
others AND there will be a constant 5 kc tone while OM talks.  To avoid this you will have to stay 
10 kc from me and IF your receiver has wide bandwidth there will be a 10 kc whistle, which is why 
rice boxes usually have a 6 kc AM bandwidth
