Neither are contest exchanges, getting a "59" from a DX station to add
another prefix to the list, or digimoders exchanging their Windows OS
version and the model number of their RigBlaster. Let's not go there.

I thought the argument was about using spectrum space efficiently.
There are bands where it would be perfectly OK, license conditions
aside, to use ESSB - anywhere above 28MHz springs to mind - but 80
metres isn't it. It doesn't matter what people want to talk about,
anyone using more bandwidth than they need just to have nicer-sounding
audio which is not essential to the actual conveying of information is
just being plain selfish, on a band where clear frequencies are
already hard to find.
