Equipment / Re: You guys using TX pre-emphasis or RX de-emphasis, how about bandwitdths?

For SW broadcast I used to use a wider bandwidth, usually 8 KHz, High pass 100 Hz and 75 pre-emph.
Some tests proved that a narrow bw of 5 gave a much louder sounding signal and it broke through the crud so I guess distant reception was better. Checking my signal on the online SDRs, the narrow signal still sounded great.
Occasionally I run 80 Hz to either 8 or 10 Khz but that's more for my own pleasure, listening at home on a wide bw desktop radio.
I don't really believe that going for Hi-Fi on SW is that beneficial as most people are listening on comm receivers or SDRs anyway.

EDIT
I should mention that I run a digital AM Optimod with the added HF settings that allow me to modify my audio to almost anything I like.

I heard it also, very weak. Hard to tell if it was AM or SSB. Speech and possible trace of music.
