Unfortunately, I couldn't convince listeners to adjust their detectors to receive asymmetrical modulation and they complained of distortion. Also, think somewhere buried in the FCC rules is something about operating in accordance to good engineering practices. Good engineering practice suggests low distortion, fully modulated audio. I am sure that if the FCC were to allow a 1000 watt AM transmission, there would be no problem meeting the technical requirements of fully modulating a 1000 watt carrier. 73 de Bill, AB6MT [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
