[amsat-bb] Beacon guard-band

The recommended beacon "guard band" is +/- 20 kHz. We have almost 300 kHz of usable transponder bandwidth. There is no need to crowd the beacon. 

Doesn't more than 10 percent of the usable transponder bandwidth seem a little excessive?  Or will this tend to become more of a non-issue as commissioning progresses and MB is used less often?
