Actually I said 5 KHz audio bandwidth which is 10Khz RF bandwidth.
But I am surprised no one read the rest of my email. I expected to get some
responses to the issue about CW bandwidth. And I concluded that it is best
not to mess with the rules and trying to be too specific. If we get into a mode of
trying to spell every thing out precisely it will the rules will degenerate to something
like those for 60meters.

Actually, 5 kHz of audio equates to an AM bandwith of 10 kHz.  Each AM
sideband contains the same 5 kHz of information.

If the only objective is to communicate using the least amount of necessary
bandwidth, then we should limit ourselves to only CW, PSK31, and other very
narrow bandwidth modes.  Why waste more bandwidth using SSB than can be
transmitted in CW or PSK31?  Clearly, there's more to operating than
minimizing bandwidth and power.
