No he's not correct, not about bandwidth anyway.  You all can blather
forever until pigs fly, but read this:  the bandwidth thing was
decided 10 years ago when ARRL tried to have it be 9 kc for AM and it
got "voted down" by an overwhelming number of negative comments filed
in the FCC ECFS.  It stayed as a non-quantified specification in the
rules for the ARS.  That, is the Bandwidth FACT.   If you lie awake at
night because someone somewhere might actually have good transmit
audio, instead of sounding like a kazoo in a tin can, then file
another petition.  We'll go through all the same hullabaloo all over
again with all the same reasons why it isn't a good idea.  Anyway, I
have things to do.
