Perhaps it's only because I am on the air for a limited amount of time
each year (during four major contests & perhaps the 10M & 160M tests),
but I really never encounter these broad, wide signals.
I often get accused of being "too loud" or "way too broad" myself,
however. And I know my gear's adjusted correctly. I always chuckle
when someone says I'm pegging his needle and then tells me I'm too wide,
because THAT GUY's also usually 40-50 db over S9. That's how it works,
on phone. Of course, no one ever considers that, or the use of
multi-element stacked Yagi arrays & legal limit amps & propagation at
that moment. It's "you're too wide on my frequency..."
But I digress...that's why CW's more fun!
Happy (ready for the flames) holidaze de Don K4ZA (& hired gun @ N4ZC)
