I have been using a 350Hz filter on hf for years and accept its higher loss.  On hf it is the accepted norm, on 136 we need the filter as narrow as we can get it.  I can understand those who have a quick listen on the band with a ssb filter - with DCF39 it is not surprising they hear no amateur signals and quickly lose interest.
