Yes Alex, that is a problem with some stations.  There are several near me that won't talk to me because I have called their hand on that very thing. 

It is incumbent upon us to be self policing but difficult when the offender won’t work to eliminate the problems.  Do you ever tell the stations you see that they are that wide?

Watching my spectrum analyzer that samples at 255 Msample/sec with 16-bit 
output, I see many AM stations on 80 meters occupying 20-kHz of bandwidth. 
Of course both sidebands are identical and carry the same information!

BTW, I occasionally run a Viking Valiant and HQ-180 on AM.
