Based on experience on 136 where SSB was tried, it's unlikely to cause any problem to other modes running as the meagre 5W is dissipated over a much larger bandwidth the energy on any one frequency is small.
Anyone who is S9+ on SSB at a distance is not running 5W EIRP!

Hi Colin,
Not too sure what you're getting at. We all have our individual interests. I hope you're not suggesting the new band should only be used by obsessive DX CW only enthusiasts?
Chris, G4AYT.

Just a thought.....when it gets totally washed out with SSB all 24 hours how are you going to clean it out? People in general dont follow gentlemen's agreements they were not party too.....and "it doesnt say I cant in the licence".
I fear that, though what you suggest would work, it might encourage mayhem.

I agree with Alan. What is wrong with top band for local chats? Or the acres of unused space on 2m or 70cms? To consider using any form of SSB on 630m just because it might be technically feasible if sheer lunacy. IMHO it would kill the band for other modes and the potential for QRM to other users will be high.  As an ex G8 who learned Morse in spite of a chronic medical condition I would say just get on a do it. The rewards are well worth the effort. Or maybe effort is a dirty word?
