[Elecraft] ESSB Equalization

IMHO, those who want "studio quality" SSB should obtain a commercial 
broadcasting license and use that instead of using the ham bands for 
"wideband SSB".  Not only is it wasted bandwidth, but it is QRM to 
adjacent stations.  My opinion of AM on the ham bands is similar. 
Technology has advanced to the point where minimum bandwidth to achieve 
effective communications is all that should be used, and an audio 
bandwidth of 300 to 2600 Hz is more than adequate for good communications.

That is about all they are going to hear when listening to a wide ESSB signal.  Unless someone with ESSB is in qso with a station of the same width, isn't it going to be wasted bandwidth?
