I wouldn't worry about it too much, Leigh.  Hopefully the FCC will join 
the rest of the world and permit CW on 60m in the near future. With 
channels only 3kHz wide, narrow modes are more appropriate, permitting 
operation by many stations on the same channel.  SSB occupies a whole 
channel, which does not make economical use of the limited spectrum 
available.
