An excerpt:
"...One of the two hams who submitted the petition told the FCC they are
motivated by interference problems caused by two groups of single sideband
operators. These groups are portrayed by the petitioners as, in both cases,
having cast aside traditional voluntary limits on bandwidth of roughly three
kilohertz. The petition therefore asks that these voluntary limits be made
mandatory to provide a clear enforcement mechanism for regulators.
"The petitioners, Michael Lonneke WXYR of Virginia, and Melvin Ladisky
W6FDR of California, said hams from one of the groups come on during radio
contests, and are found tweaking their transmitters to splatter purposely to
provide elbowroom on a very crowded band. The two men characterize the other
group as those who experiment with high-fidelity audio, apparently trying to
replicate the sound of FM Broadcast stations...."
