[Elecraft] ESSB and the rules

[Brett Howard]

Read my message again.  ESSB is a mode!  I'm saying that people who claim
ESSB is wasteful then why can't CW ops say that SSB is wasteful?

Brett, reread part (a) of the FCC rules below.  The maximum bandwidth 
requirement is applied to each individual emission type (mode).  The FCC 
acknowledges the right to use voice modes like SSB and even AM ... it 
just says you shouldn't abuse the bandwidth when you do so.
